Hi, Mike,

Thanks for the quick response.

I've been using (with XP SP2) the 5.07.2 float installer, and though I'm 
requesting Python installation and it seems to be happening (the .msi takes 
some time to "install" prior to the Csound installation), python25.dll is 
not showing up anywhere - including in Windows\System32.

The two computers I've installed (the same) on, both show the same result. 
On one of them I'd previously installed Python2.5.1, which *does* put 
python25.dll in the above directory. (Unfortunately, it doesn't place other 
needed files (by CsoundGUI and Winsound) - namely pd.dll and tcl84.dll (the 
former isn't present at all) - where Csound needs to find them. (I gather 
that PYTHONPATH might need to be changed.)

At any rate, I really don't think the installer is installing python 
correctly. Could you - or someone else, please - possibly install 5.07.2, 
float version, on an XP machine that does not have Python, but requesting 
Python installation and seeing if Python (python25.dll) is correctly added? 
I'd really appreciate it.

TIA,

Art Hunkins
