Fwd: Re: Unable to install Pywin32 for Python 2.6.2

[Mark Hammond]

Probably some import statement is finding a .pyd module built against 
Python 2.5 instead of Python 2.6; it might be that PYTHONPATH points 
somewhere wrong, or the registry for Python 2.6 is setup wrong, or 
something else entirely...

Cheers,

Mark
