Interesting. Looking at the code in win32_ver() should be getting
one of ('Vista', '2008Server', 'post2008Server'), but not '' for the
release.

Do you have the win32 tools installed on that machine ? This could
be the reason.

Please check the results of win32_ver() on those machines. The
release part should always be set.
