I believe that build 212 had a problem with win32traceutil, introduced 
trying to get things working on Vista.  Build 213 should have that 
fixed, but on Vista it may be necessary to either (a) run win32traceutil 
as an admin or (b) ensure IIS has already imported win32traceutil before 
starting the reader process.

Unfortunately I'm not sure what builds of ActivePython correspond to 
real pywin32 builds...
