[python-win32] pywin32-212 (Python 2.6): cannot run win32 installer on XP (SP3) [RESOLVED]

[Tobias A]

Hello again All,

This has been resolved.

After the re-install of XP i only installed my old copy of VC6.
Hanni suggested that I use the setup.py script to build a custom copy. The
README suggested that I should install a later copy of VC before building.
I installed VC9 (express) and thought I should give the installer another
try.

This time the installer worked perfectly fine.

Thanks to Hanni for his suggestion.

Regards,

Tobias Andersson
