Yes, but what I experienced is much worse - I was actually getting the 2.6.2 version of python26.dll due to shadowing, instead of the 2.6.3 version.
Ah. Did you get a message "[TARGETDIR] exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite existing files?"
I may well have, but that wouldn't surprise me when doing an upgrade in place.
The real problem, it seems, is there was a spurious python26.dll in c:\Python26, which shadowed the one in c:\Windows. That file may have been unique to my installation (I don't recall duplicating it - no reason to do so). But if other people have it subsequent to a 2.6.2 install, they will probably have the same difficulty I had.
