[python-win32] pywin32-212 (Python 2.6): cannot run win32 installer on XP (SP3)

[Tobias A]

Hello All,

I recently made a clean install of XP on my office computer and then decided
to upgrade to Python 2.6 from Py 2.4.x.

Installation of Py 2.6 was smooth (and the multiprocessing package is neat)
but when I tried to install pywin32 build 212 for 2.6 windows refused to run
the installer. I'm running Win XP (SP3).

I downloaded the installer from Sourceforge [pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe]
and placed it on the desktop (as usual).

When I doubleclick on the .exe-file I first get a warning from XP about the
publisher not being identified (normal).
When I click on "run" I get a message I have never seen before. Unfortunatly
I'm running the swedish version of XP. Below is a rough translation (i'm not
certain of words in brackets):

\pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe
This program could not be [run/started] because its [configuration] is
invalid. The problem may be [rectified] if you reinstall the program.

The installer then ends.

What could this mean? I get the same message when trying the 210 and 211
builds.
Has anything changed in the installer? Are there any DLL:s missing on my
system?

Regards,

Tobias Andersson
