Since it will start even once, it seems unlikely that the problem is with the
system dll's.
The installer itself compiles all the scripts to pyc, so it's even stranger that
it will run the first time if it crashes when the pyc is present.  If you uninstall
and then reinstall, do the pyc's created by the installer get overwritten when
Pythonwin runs successfully the first time ?
