While running the python installer for any version I suddenly get an error 2203
and it just doesn’t want to run. It closes after I press ok.
I have been seeing weird things happening lately with python like it closing when ctrl+z
is pressed. or even not indenting with the tab
key. This started after I installed ipython
. Any suggestions on how I may be able to resolve this?

If uninstalling ipython is an option, do it, then uninstall python too. Later reinstall ipython first.

Is this the same issue with the temp folder as here? If so, try changing the permissions on the temp folder.

Problem is access to default %temp% folder in your profile
Ok, this has to do with access to your temp file location. As with many, the temp folder permissions get jacked up with spyware/adware etc…
Workaround
open a command prompt (cmd.exe) (with admin permissions if not logged on as admin)
- create a new folder for the installers and copy install files to a folder
c:>md c:installers
c:>cd c:installers
copy the msi files there, with explorer or command line
-
make a new directory: Example:
md c:temp -
set the temp folder location to the new temp folder
set temp=c:temp -
type the installer .msi in the command line
python-2.6.6.msi
and press enter
That should fix the install problem, but for the problem with the %temp% folder, use spy or adware remover and virus scanner, or just create a new profile.
hope this helps.
wrong description
The installer has encounted an unexcepted error install this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203/2503/2503.
Official definition
2203 Database: [2]. Cannot open database file. System error [3].
2502 Called InstallFinalize when no install in progress.
2503 Called RunScript when not marked in progress.
possible reason
The folder to be operated does not exist (2203) Insufficient permissions (2502, 2503)
specific reason
C:WindowsTEMP
folderBecause I was careless about the temporary file, it becameC:WindowsTEMP
file, The method of operating the folder cannot be applied to the file.
solve
- delete
C:WindowsTemp
File and createC:WindowsTemp
folder. - Modify the operation permissions of the User user to this folder, and add modify and write permissions.

I'm running Windows 7 (32-bit) and I downloaded Python 2.7.1 Windows Installer but I can't install it. I get this message: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203." |

Can you confirm that the checksum and size of the file you downloaded matches what's on the site: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/ |

Yes, I downloaded it from there. |

I get the same message when trying to install older versions (2.x) as well as new 3.1.3 I also tried ActivePython and same thing happens. |

Are you perhaps trying to run the installer from a network folder, or some other location that needs your personal credentials for access? Please run msiexec /i python-2.7.1.msi /l*v python.log and attach the resulting python.log to this report (compress if it's too large). |

Вопрос:
Во время запуска установщика python для любой версии я вдруг получаю сообщение error 2203
и он просто не хочет запускаться. Он закрывается после того, как я нажимаю ok.
В последнее время я вижу странные вещи, когда python закрывается при нажатии ctrl+z
. или даже не отступать от клавиши tab
. Это началось после установки ipython
. Любые предложения о том, как я могу это решить?
