[Eric] Installation Path Problems Python 2.7 and 3.2

[Robert Ford]

Hello,

YOU ADVISED:
"You better use this command

c:\python32\python install.py

If you install via double click onto the install script you might pick the
wrong interpreter version depending on your PATH settings"

ME:
I ran your suggested command from inside the eric5-5.1.8 folder and eric5 is 
now running.
Thank you very much. I have learned something new and important.

The eric4 manual on page 119 implies that you just "run" install.py from the 
unzipped folder.
You do need to change the directory of the windows shell command to be in 
that folder in order to find install.py. Perhaps the manual could be 
clarified as "run" is such a vague word where precision is necessary?

Robert
