Hi Paul,

> You might have to run the all-in-one installer as the administrator.

Yes, that was the solution. It's a permissions problem - although the installer gives the wrong error (it reports the TARGETDIR property not being set, when it is really an "access denied")

For reasons I don't yet understand, Vista doesn't offer the "run as admin" option for the PyGtk installer; we had to run a command shell as admin & do a command-line installation.

But it's now in and working :-)

Vic.
