I'm using Windows XP SP2. Uninstalled 2.3, installed 2.4 (running as me, not as administrator). No problems so far. Tried installing pywin32-203.win32-py2.4.exe When I try to install it as me, it gets as far as "ready to install." When I click Next, it says Can't load Python for pre-install script and quits, even though earlier it said it had found Python 2.4 in the registry. When I try to install it as Administrator, it quits immediately, saying that it couldn't locate a Python 2.4 installation. My hypothesis: When I install 2.4 as me, it puts it in my user registry, not the system-wide registry, and then pywin32 can't find it. I'm going to unstall and try again as Administrator.
