Indeed, and this is running on a Core 2 Duo laptop, a 32 bit platform.
The problem is obvious (or seems to be)... the installer for Python
(which is a "professional" installer) has set the c:\python25 folder
privileges so that the installers for the extensions (which are the
pocket-sized installers from the distutils) can't write files in that
folder. The site-packages folder is evidently marked "public" (however
that is done) so that the installation of files into that folder by the
extension installers works fine. But then, there is also a restricted
registry key that is blocking the win32all installer from working
properly.<br>

I hate Vista. Does anyone like it? Okay, that's off topic, but I had
to vent.<br>
