Vernon, You solved my problem! I was using Bazaar 1.9 (bzr-setup-1.9.exe) previously. After upgrading to Bazaar 1.11, all the problems disappeared. I'm sticking to Python 2.5 because that's what's being used. Since I'm new to Python, I don't want to be using a different version than the rest. Others are not using Pythonwin so they did not experience this problem before. Thanks for your help, and, to the broader community, for these wonderful tools. Donald

Ahha! You are not having a problem with Python, as such. You are having a problem with Bazaar. I tried running bazaar from source some while ago, but had to download a lot of extra modules for it, so I have gotten lazy and just use the version from the windows installer. I am now running bazaar 1.11 alongside Python 2.6 with no problems. Download from http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download Also, unless you have a specific reason for using Python 2.5, I suggest that you upgrade to 2.6. -- Vernon On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 12:17 PM, Liu, Donald (H USA) <donald....@siemens.com> wrote: Vernon, Thanks for the tip, which I followed, but the result was not good yet. [I'm inclined to think that there's something wrong with my PC at work, but it's beyond me to figure out what. I upgraded to Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.] I downloaded python-2.5.4.msi from python.org, and pywin32-212.win32-py2.5.exe from sourceforge.net, using the links you provided.

Donald: I'm going to do a little information thing here... Active Python is a package put together by ActiveState. It is a commercial product (with some licensing restrictions) that has both commercial and community support. You can find support for that package at http://www.activestate.com/support/ . As far as I know, it is simply a repackaging of two (perhaps more?) free and open source packages, which you can download separately and which have their own support mechanisms -- including the one you are using now. Python is found at http://www.python.org/download/ and pywin32 is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ You might want to try downloading these original packages to see whether your installation problems go away. In exchange for the additional difficulty of downloading two packages, rather than only one, you have the advantage of knowing that you will never have to pay for a redistribution license. -- Vernon Cole On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 10:28 AM, Liu, Donald (H USA) <donald....@siemens.com> wrote: Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately it's the PC at work that I'd like to make the installation work ...

Check if you have copies of pywintypes25.dll and pythoncom25.dll in your system32 directory, and if so, that they are identical to the ones in your Python directory. If they are not, update the system32 ones with the python ones.
