[python-win32] Creating an MSI of pywin32

[Brad Johnson]

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to create an MSI of pywin32 so I can have it silently install
with another application.

I am running into this error and traceback when executing "python setup.py
bdist_msi"

running install_egg_info
Writing build\bdist.win32\msi\Lib\site-packages\pywin32-210-py2.5.egg-info
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 1546, in <module>
    ('', ('pywin32.pth',)),
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\distutils\core.py", line 151, in setup
    dist.run_commands()
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 974, in run_commands
    self.run_command(cmd)
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\distutils\dist.py", line 994, in run_command
    cmd_obj.run()
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\distutils\command\bdist_msi.py", line 215, in run
    sversion = "%d.%d.%d" % StrictVersion(version).version
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\distutils\version.py", line 40, in __init__
    self.parse(vstring)
  File "C:\PYTHON25\lib\distutils\version.py", line 107, in parse
    raise ValueError, "invalid version number '%s'" % vstring
ValueError: invalid version number '210'

Any thoughts?

Creating a windows installer via "python setup.py bdist_wininst" works fine.
