I haven't yet been able to reproduce the problem.

Tested with:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit OS
RF 2.7.1
robotframework-seleniumlibrary-2.8.1.win-amd64.exe
Python 2.7.2 (win32)

I'll try to make my environment more like the one in the original issue .. lets 
see what happens.

Tested also Python 2.7.3 (amd64) on 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium and got no 
problems.

I'm pretty sure the Win7 flavor doesn't matter, though, and that the problem is 
somewhere else. From the error message in the attached screenshot alone it is 
pretty much impossible to tell what is going wrong. Unfortunately I don't have 
any good ideas what more information you could provide, though.

Instead of fighting with this weird and very annoying installation bug, I 
recommend you to install the library using the source distribution. Just 
download the source distribution from the download page, extract the package 
somewhere, and run `python setup.py install` on the created directory.

If you are planning to use Robot and/or Python more, even better alternative is 
installing Python package manager pip <http://pip-installer.org> that also 
supports upgrading and installation. Then you can install the library simply 
with `pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary`. All Robot related Python 
libraries/tools ought to be pip installable nowadays so it really eases your 
life if you want to install plenty of them.

Maaret, are you sure you have 64bit Python installed? You should have got 
'Windows X86-64 MSI Installer' from http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/.

Python 2.7.3 (amd64) on Windows 7 Professional - could not reproduce.

I'm sure I have 64-bit python installed (python-2.7.3.amd64.msi). I have Robot 
framework installation ending with error message (still installed, so it seems) 
and selenium library crashing at installation. Not a very positive first 
experience. 

I'll check still if for some reason the files would have been corrupted (I 
doubt it) and if I find energy, will see if I get it running without the 
installer.

Installed both robot framework and the library from the source distribution. 
Seems your installer and my computer don't go well together. Since this 
selenium-library installer failed, same happens with the robot-framework 
installer too. The packages are not corrupt, checked. Reproduces on my machine, 
but you have a workaround.

We are going to create a new SeleniumLibrary release possibly already today. 
Are you interested to test the new installer before we make the release? If the 
problem has been in creating the installer, perhaps this time we'll be luckier.

Sure. Just tell me where to get it.

Release is delayed on Monday. We didn't have time to test the new Selenium 
Server adequately.

Cannot reproduce this so cannot really do anything. Everyone should be moving 
to Se2Lib anyway.
