Minor nit in Py24 installer: Deselecting register extensionsde-registers existing associations
 

Yes, yes, I know I should just wait for SourceForge to come up so I can
file a bug report, but that's going to be hours, and I'll be knee-deep
in Gentoo by then.

Just did an all-users install of Python 2.4a3 on Win2ksp4 where Python
2.3.4 and Python 2.2 are installed. Overwrote already-installed Python
2.4a1. Switched "register extensions" to the "X Not available", as I
wanted to keep Python 2.3.4 as the default association for .py files.

After installation, there are *no* associations with Python files, that
is "assoc .py" on the command line shows that there's no "Python" file
type remaining.

Have fun,
Mike

I'll see what I can do about this. This extension-registration turns out
to be really tricky, as MSI does not support conditional installation
of extensions out of the box.
