Just to sanity check - you say you installed Python 2.2.3, but then
you are trying to install wxPython and win32all for Python 2.3.  So
unless you also have one of the alpha or beta release of Python 2.3,
it would make sense that the installers can't find it.  Note that
2.2.3 is a maintenance release to the Python 2.2.x series and is not
the same thing as Python 2.3, which is still in beta.

If you want to install on top of your Python 2.2.3 installation, then
you should be downloading the win32all/wxPython versions for Python
2.2, not 2.3.

Hope that helps.
