Fwd: Re: Unable to install Pywin32 for Python 2.6.2

[David Lyon]

Hi,

hmmm... that's annoying..

Whilst I don't have an exact answer I have a few hunches...

Perphaps what has happened is that the windows installer between
the versions of pywin32 has installed newer versions of the same
dlls over the top of older ones.

Or, possibly, the installer hasn't wanted to replace older dll's 
because they already exist on the system.

This would result in a mismatch.

You may be lucky and find an install log. This might tell you which
files were actually installed. And you could play around with
moving them around.

Good luck with your night vision task....

David
