Hi,

I sent this to "pywin32-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net" a while ago but it 
doesn't show up in the archive, so I try here.

I just started working with Windows 8.1 and run into problems with above.

2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
Python Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 
information.
import win32api
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <fragment>
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I tried both "pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe" and 
"pywin32-216.win32-py2.7.exe".

I had no problems with pywin32 on Windows 7.

Appreciate any tip on how to fix this.

Werner
