The current installer tests for Python 2.5 in the Windows registry. If Python is found in the registry, then the Python features of Csound are installed. If Python is not found in the registry, then the installer gives the user a choice to abort installation in order to install Python, or to proceed with installation but to put the Python features in a secluded directory. 

I have verified that this behavior does occur on my computer. I would like to know if it is working for other installations. "Yes" or "No" plus some details would be appreciated.

Regards,
Mike
