Yes, I've seen this happen several times, but only under Win9X, not Win2K.
Which flavor of Windows are you using?   So far you're the only other one to
report it.  I can't account for it:  the installer definitely creates
UNWISE.EXE in the right place (the root of your Python tree), but sometimes
"it goes missing" later.  Exactly when and why remains a mystery to me.  It
may be related to unplanned <ahem> system crashes.
