Oops, Pardon my posting this. I should have Googled first and would
have solved the problem. I posted this in May, and Mark Hammond solved
the problem then. I forgot about it and repeated mistake.
In case anyone else has this problem, my mistake was a PYTHONPATH that
pointed to my Python 2.5 installation. I simply changed it to:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages
and reran the Pywin32 installer and all is fine.
