Scott, from memory (so that this with a grain of salt), it will install but doesn't work.

I would need to check some of our installations at work, but I think we are either:

(a) running a 64-bit version of the pyserial library that we got from the "Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages" site at:

	http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

(b) or, using a version that we built ourselves from source

A quick google suggests an alternative which I've not tried:

	"IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are on a 64bit system you had to use the version 2.4 from pyserial and you need the additional Python Win32 Extensions pywin."
