Subject: [users@httpd] Bug in mod_python install
X-Spam-Rating: minotaur-2.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N

Mod_python's postinstall script assumes that the Apache key in the Windows
registry is in HKLM. However if one installs Apache Web Server on Windows
and chooses to install for the current user, the entry is under HKCU.
Because of this an exception is thrown in the script when attempting to open
HKLM/Apache Group/Apache and the postinstall script never finishes.

An obvious workaround is to momentarily duplicate the Apache registry
entries which are under HKCU to HKLM in order to allow mod_python to finish
installing itself successfully.

Here is the exception trace:
