Summary: Can't install on Windows 2000

Initial Comment:
When I run the binary installer on Windows 2000, it runs 
until the registering dll's section and then stops with an 
alert.  An image of the alert is attached, but the gist is

"Unable to register the DLL/OCX. 

DllREgisterServer failed; code 0x80040201.

<Abort> <Retry> <Ignore>"

I got this error on version 0.3 where Retry would just 
repeat the error and Abort would unwind the 
installation.  I never tried Ignore.

I have now tried version 0.3 and it gives the same error, 
but Abort and Retry hung the first time I tried them.  
Abort worked the second time.  I finally tried Ignore, 
which completes okay.  When I ran Outlook, though, the 
add-in wasn't there.

This is Windows 2000 SP3 on an elderly Dell Inspiron 
notebook.  It has Outlook 2002 SP2.  Both are up to 
date with recent patches.  I believe this combination is 
not known to work, but thought this information might 
help.

Same problem here... acting exactly like installer version 002 
did, actually. My OS is XP Pro w/ all updates and Office XP w/ 
SP2 installed.

The install fails on the spambayes_addin.dll registration. 
Telling the install to "Retry" causes the installer to hang up 
and has to be killed ("End Now"). Running 
the "regsvr32.exe..." command from the Spambayes dir does 
NOT work. Gives a similar (probably the same) error.

I got the same thing with Outlook 2003 (with tech refresh) on 
Windows XP. I tried uninstalling Python and win32all. (could 
not install from source after installing the tech refresh either) 
And still could not install the Binary version 003.
I installed "Spamunition" which registered it's dll fine. Then 
tried to install spambayes again. This time it worked. so I 
uninstalled spamunition. Spambayes is working fine again now.
