distutils.core.setup --install-script option in Python 2.6 ?

Hello,

I have just upgraded from Python 2.5 to 2.6.4 (MS Windows XP service pack 3).

My setup.py scripts (based on distutils.core.setup) no longer work with the --install-script option.  Here is the error:
  • error: option --install-script not recognized
The above error occurs when passing either bdist_wininst or bdist_msi parameters to the setup.py scripts.

I have been unable to locate any on-line mention of this option not being supported.

I apologize for missing something obvious here, but I am stuck.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
