Can't run "Python-2.1.exe" under NT...

Hello,

I have downloaded the Windows version "Python-2.1.exe" of Python
and am unable to run the executable.  An error message stating
"System DLLs corrupt or missing" always appears.

On closer examination of the executable, I see the following:
- Expected Windows version: 3.10
- Imported name table (link-time imports): kernel, gdi, user

It seems that this executable is a 16bit application and it refuses
to run under NT.  Checking my DLLs reveals that I have 32bit
versions...ie. kernel32.dll, gdi32.dll and user32.dll

Is anyone else experiencing this difficulty?  Is there a Win32
version of the "Python-2.1.exe" windows installer?  Am I
doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Jim.
