Python installers with different bitness overwrite one another #26

Closed takluyver closed 10 years ago

Both the 32 bit and 64 bit Python installers install to C:\PythonNN by default, so if you try to install both variants of the same major release of Python, the second will clobber the first.

I think we can avoid this by setting TARGETDIR, as described here: https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/msi/
