Hi Michel,


Hmmm... This is a very specific question to the Win32 platform; you might
have better luck asking on the Python-Win32 list for this one.


From=20some initial Googling, it appears that you may need to get access to
the VERSION.DLL Windows library:

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;EN-US;139491

We can get access to such DLLs through the Dynwin package:

Unfortunately, that's as far as I can go; I don't run Windows.  *grin*
Talk to the Win32 folks at:

    http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32


The folks there should be better able to help you get this working.  Good
luck to you!
