Win32: python-network-installation?

Wed Jul 7 09:50:40 EDT 1999

To stop some people burning their brains I've made some
of the job already:

I summarized all registry-entries from my installation
and changed paths inside to server-UNC-Paths (file appended!). 
I've made a test-server installation on my server 'as1' 
where the directory 'python' is opened for everybody inside
intranet.
To reach Python-dlls I copied the dlls '\WinNT\System32\PythonCOM15.dll'
and '\WINNT\System32\Python15.dll' to a directory '\\as1\python\dll'
onto the server.

Just tested that construction:
1)starting python-scripts via double-click works fine
2)starting python.exe or pythonw.exe with 
 '\\as1\python\pythonw.exe' works fine ,too 
3)only '\\as1\python\pythonwin\pythonwin.exe' occurs a
 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library'-RuntimeError:
 Program: \\as1\python\pythonwin\pythonwin.exe
 abnormal program termination

What do you think, does I forget any dll? Why does that error (3)
occur? (Perhaps I need that pythonwin.exe to check some
scripts when sitting at a client...?!)

What's about that registry-file? Do I really need all that entries?
What entries could I dismiss? 

Are there other (better) ways to get a network installation for Win32-Clients?
