Hi,
I'm running  XP SP3 and  Python 2.6.2 and I'm trying to install  pywin32-214 but it fails to load a DLL.  The following is the error message I get at the end of the install.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 601, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 313, in install
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

When I try to use the module in a python program I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\WorkArea\Python\excel2007", line 2, in <module>
    import win32com.client as win32
  File "C:\Python26\lib\win32com\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
>>>

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall install pywin32 but that didn't work. And I have tried  moving two DLLs, Pythoncom26.dll and PyWinTypes26.dll, into the system32 directory which also didn't work.

Thanks,
John Freking
