I just installed Python 2.4.2, downloaded from http://www.python.org/ and MUSHclient doesn't seem to want to recognize it... Whenever I go into the Scripts settings and tell it to use Python, I get the message:

Error -2147221005 occurred when finding CLSID of scripting language "Python":

Invalid class string

Anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks!

Check you have actually installed Python *scripting* rather than stand-alone Python (or, as well as). Check out this forum post:

(Bottom entry).

I think there is something you have to type, which is similar or identical to that, which "registers" the Python script engine with Windows, otherwise Windows doesn't know it is a script language, and you get that error message you reported.

If you got Python from the python website and not the ActiveState Python you'll need to download the windows extensions too. They can be found at the following site

I'd found that site, but I'm not sure which version to download... I have Python 2.4.2, but it lists what looks like versions from 2.2 to 2.5... I didn't see a 2.5 on the Python website, so it had me a little confused. Any ideas which one I need?
