I am trying to install Python on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit machine, but after going through all of the installation settings 'n' stuff it shows this for a while: Installing..?

before showing this, then the 'Installer quit prematurely' message and exiting:
Oh dear...

I have tried rebooting, redownloading twice, trying 3.3.2 instead of 2.7.5 etc etc.

Can anybody help me?

Make sure C:\Windows\Installer exists (if windows is installed in C:).

If it doesn't, just create it and run the installer again.
