Assuming you installed Python "for all users", the pythoncom27.dll being 
used should be the one in the system32 directory, and pythonxx.dll 
should be next to it.  Maybe the VS2008 runtime libs aren't installed 
such that they are picked up from there.

The point is so that code which explicitly specifies the local server 
version works.
