What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install python2.7.1 and win32all build 216 for python2.7 on Windows 7 with default UAC settings. (I chose C:\Program Files\Python2.7 vs. C:\Python2.7 as the install location, since the former is also verboten with new Windows security standards.) 2. Try to install pyodbc. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? As soon as you click install in the wizard, you get a crash, with the following details: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BEX Application Name: pyodbc-2.1.8.win32-py2.7.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 49819995 Fault Module Name: pyodbc-2.1.8.win32-py2.7.exe Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 49819995 Exception Offset: 000086dc Exception Code: c0000417 Exception Data: 00000000 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.4 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: d62d Additional Information 2: d62ddf3309e62665394c0c6eb8d59970 Additional Information 3: 7f31 Additional Information 4: 7f3145d642a45be2171e4a99039efd13 What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? OS: Windows 7 Enterprise (32bit) UAC default settings Please provide any additional information below. NOTE: If I add a data execution prevention exception for the program, and reboot, it still crashes, but if I turn off UAC entirely, and reboot, then the program executes to completion.

I'll see what I can do. The installer is generated by the standard Python tools. Hopefully I won't need to write my in Wix or something. I assume the login was not an Administrator account?

Actually, it was. Even administrators are not exempt from UAC restrictions.

Fixed in 2.1.9-beta15
