Did you have a previous version of 2.2 on your machine, and uninstall it
before installing 2.2.1?

On a clean Win2K Pro box, I'm finally able to provoke this (or at least one
of its causes) reproducibly, via:

1. Boot the box.

2. Install 2.2.1.

3. Uninstall 2.2.1.

4. Install 2.2.1 again.  Note that \Python22\UNWISE.EXE is there.

5. Reboot the box (just logging off and on again isn't enough).

6. Now \Python22\UNWISE.EXE no longer exists.
