Description
When installing official 0.96.2 release through "python setup.py install" mechanism, "admin" and "templates" directories are not copied to "django/contrib/admin" directory even though they are present in the downloaded package.
This causes admin module to be unaccessible. See multiple comments to the DjangoBook chapter 6 (http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter06/)
Please update the "official release" to copy these directories during the installation whenever you have a chance.

Actually, according to my notes, if you use "python setup.py install" things work properly. It's when you drop the "python" from the front that things go awry. Hmm, that's assuming you're running Windows here (where we identified this problem), but you don't specify what OS you are on. If you're installing on OS X you might be hitting #7414, which is a different problem and still open.
At any rate if you are on Windows, there is an easy workaround, if you must use 0.96.2 rather than an SVN checkout. If you are on OS X you could provide feedback on the current patch for #7414 and confirm whether it fixes the issue for your case (the only file involved is setup.py, so you can just replace that one file to test out the patch).

Actually, I'm using OS X (10.5.4). It does look like to be the same as issue #7414. Thank you for the prompt action!
This will be fixed in the 1.0 release (it's been fixed in trunk for quite a while). 0.96.2 is 0.96 + security fixes only, so it won't be updated in this way. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we've got a new release coming out soon.
