Unable to install Pywin32 for Python 2.6.2

I have no problem installing Python 2.6.2 for windows under XP SP3 and 
IDLE and the command line versions work fine.  When I run the pywin32 
installer downloaded from sourceforge (pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe) I 
get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 565, in <module>
   File "<string>", line 291, in install
ImportError: Module use of python25.dll conflicts with this version of 
Python.
*** run_installscript: internal error 0xFFFFFFFF ***

I have tried uninstalling Python 2.6 and reinstalling, but still get the 
same message.  I do have Python 2.5.4 and its associated Pywin32 on the 
same machine, but I have a laptop with pywin32 installed for both python 
2.5 and 2.6.

TIA
