[python-win32] Re: How can I run a win service without python2.0 installation magic?

[Rogelio Flores]

OK, a simple reboot solved my problem, I guess it needed it to be
aware of all the changes (to environment variables and the win
registry).

Thanks everybody anyway, I know you were just about to offer help (it
has been the case most times in this list it seems).

Isn't great to answer to your own post? ;-)
