Python 2.4 killing commercial Windows Python development ?

[Nemesis]

Mentre io pensavo ad una intro simpatica "Michael Kearns" scriveva:

I have the same problem. But I have a doubt, does Python installer ship
this dll? 
What happens if I try to install Python2.4 on a system wich doesn't have
the dll?
