Same problem here removing v1.63 before installing v2.0.
And UnWisePW32.exe fails, because no W32INST.LOG could be found:-(

Fortunately i found the missing W32INST.LOG in a temporary directory 
named as "GLG140.TMP" utilizing the systems search function (scanning 
all files of my windows system volume for the text fragment "Python 
Win32 extensions Installation":-)

Moved the renamed file to it´s correct place and voila!
Just check it out...
