Let me guess ... Are you using Zope's built-in Python application ? If you are, the fact that it's built-in means that it doesn't appear in the windows registry. The installer checks for Python versions in the directory. You have to install Zope and Python independently (this is the only way of making python appear in the registry), then configure your start.bat file to use the new Python installation. Then, when you'll run the MySQL-Python-0.9.0.exe installer, then python version is going to appear in your "Select python installation to use" box. I hope this helps.

I am trying to install the MySQL-Python-0.9.0 package onto my WinXP Prof. machine with Zope 2.5.1. Having problems: the MySQL-Python-0.9.0.exe installer stops with:
"Select Python Installation to use: Select Installation directory:"
Well,... there is nothing to select in this window. And the textbox won't let me type an installation directory either. This is as far as I can get with this exe installer. I have to cancel out of it because it won't let me go to "Next-->".
I've also tried the "platform independent" MySQL-Python-0.9.0.tgz from sourceforge. Have tried running the `python setup.py build` and `python setup.py install` commands from the Windows command line. But I get this error:
.... ....build process seems to be going okay.... .... building '_mysql' extension cl.exe /c /nologo /0x /MD /W3 /GX -Ic:\mysql\include "-IC:\Program Files\Website\bin\Include" /Tc_mysql.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.1\Release\_mysql.obj error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory
Don't get me wrong: I'm a serious Linux user. But I need to make some traveling presentations on the merits of Zope and I only have a WinXP laptop right now for my demonstrations/presentations. No Linux laptop just yet. :( Any help getting MySQL adapters installed on Windows will be much appreciated!
Thanks, Bryan
P.S. I have tried both the .exe and .tgz in versions 0.9.0 as well as 0.9.2. And I have tried both of these on Zope 2.6.0 on Windows as well. No luck in any of these combinations.
