I didn't! Thanks, that could come in handy.

Much appreciated!

Before we do this ...

The actual problem is with the original exe itself (i.e. the
INSTALLATION program - the self-extracting executable). It reports an
unhandled exception (COMCTL32.DLL) 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

I don't think that this is of use to you, though. As far as I know
there's nothing wrong with PySQLite itself, but with the
self-extracting installation program. If the distribution had been
available as a zip file then I would probably be able to install it.

See comments above.

Good Lord no. I don't know where one could get a service pack anyway.
