pythonwin broke

[Jean Brouwers]

We just went through a similar install-uninstall-reinstall cycle with
Python 2.4 and 2.3 on Windows XP SP2.  Just uninstalling 2.4 and
reinstalling 2.3 was not sufficient.

It took several attempts to get things back to the original 2.3
configuration.  After unininstalling both, we deleted all Python
related entries in the Registry and in the StartUp folder.  Only after
that did the reinstalled 2.3 plus extensions work fine again.

PS) We backed out of using Python 2.4 since two of the extensions we
need did not work with 2.4 on Windows XP.

PPS) It looks like Python 2.4 and Python 2.3 can not co-exist (in
different folders under Program Files) but we did not investigate that
any further.
