Installed under C:\Python; system is Win2k. I installed win32all-146
after Python-2.2, but didn't save backups. 

I have a couple of other things installed eg Numeric-20.3 and PIL, but
nothing  that came with an installer. I don't remember anything untoward
about the Python-2.2 install.

The unwise.exe was just not there for some reason.
