3M is nothing for an installer these days, really...

MSI doesn't screw up anything - it's built into the OS and has very 
specific rules about what can be installed where.  It has some major 
limitations (sucks pretty hard in some places actually) but does in fact 
work.

If you don't allow MSI on your machine how do you use python?

It's easy enough to create one...  the source for the installers is 
there, or you can just edit the MSI directly with orca.

Just send the crashdump (or let it send it automatically).  Almost 
nothing has changed, really, except some backend stuff for file 
access... seems pretty stable at the moment.
