Try unzipping the installation file and doing the install by hand.
Standard Python Win32 installation packages made by distutils are just
an exe stub with a zipfile appended, and all zip packages I've ever
used can read that format easily.

Usually from Microsoft:

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/

All the service packs and hotfixes seem to be there.

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.  If the version number
does not end with a letter, you need Service Pack 1.  If it ends in a
letter 'a' (lowercase always I think) you have SP1 already.  If it ends
in a 'b', 'B', or 'C' you have OSR2.0, 2.1, or 2.5 (the only released
versions AFAIK).  OSR means OEM Service Release... you can't upgrade an
'a' version to a 'b' or higher legally (although given a CD and the magic
MSBATCH.INF file it's technically easy).
