Then blender is likely to look for python.exe in c:\python25 while on 
your computer it's probably under c:\python26. Try renaming the 
directory c:\python26 to c:\python25 and see if that works. You might 
also have to modify the PATH and PYTHONPATH environments.
If you wish to install python v2.5.2 maybe you need to uninstall v 2.6, 
just gessing.
