[python-win32] building pywin32 on Server 2003 x64

You are of course correct, I should have said I am developing on a 64 bit
machine.

Spotted that and thanks for the setup  tip, I also spotted there is a 2.6 64
bit build this seemed to install ok with python 2.6 ok, so I will probably
just use that. What compiler was used for this package?

Point duly noted, I will examine 2.6 instead then and see how it goes. SO
long as I can get all the tests running without any problems then I will be
happy, and by the time we deploy it looks like 2.6 should be pretty much
ready.

Thanks again,

Hanni
