I'm not sure whether that would make a difference.

On XP this does not make a difference - I've tested this with
a German Win XP version.

I think the best strategy is to run win32_ver() through the
pdb debugger in step-by-step mode and on the Vista machine
where you saw the problem.

BTW: Do you have the win32 tools installed on that machine ?
