Vernon,
Thanks for the tip, which I followed, but the result was not good yet.
[I'm inclined to think that there's something wrong with my PC at work,
but it's beyond me to figure out what. I upgraded to Windows XP Pro
Service Pack 3.]
I downloaded python-2.5.4.msi from python.org, and
pywin32-212.win32-py2.5.exe from sourceforge.net, using the links you
provided. Then I installed python followed by pywin32. When I run
Pythonwin and try to open a file, I got the following (different) error
message:
PythonWin 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.

Donald:
I'm going to do a little information thing here...
Active Python is a package put together by ActiveState. It is a
commercial product (with some licensing restrictions) that has both
commercial and community support. You can find support for that package
at http://www.activestate.com/support/ .
As far as I know, it is simply a repackaging of two (perhaps more?)
free and open source packages, which you can download separately and
which have their own support mechanisms -- including the one you are
using now.
Python is found at http://www.python.org/download/
and pywin32 is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
You might want to try downloading these original packages to see
whether your installation problems go away. In exchange for the
additional difficulty of downloading two packages, rather than only one,
you have the advantage of knowing that you will never have to pay for a
redistribution license.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. I ran "dir c:\Windows\system32\py*.dll",
and got
the following:

Looks like there's only one set of these files in the system32
directory.
By the way, I only had problem with installation on the PC at
work. My
PC at home, which also has Windows XP, runs ActivePython with no
problem. Unfortunately it's the PC at work that I'd like to
make the
installation work ...
Thanks again,
Donald

Check if you have copies of pywintypes25.dll and pythoncom25.dll
in your
system32 directory, and if so, that they are identical to the
ones in
your Python directory. If they are not, update the system32
ones with
the python ones.
Cheers,
Mark
