Aha, I just reinstalled 2.6.2 without the "Just for me" checkbox and this time pywin32 installed successfully with the following message: Copied pythoncom26.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32\pythoncom26.dll Copied pywintypes26.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32\pywintypes26.dll Registered: Python.Interpreter Registered: Python.Dictionary Registered: Python -> Software\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Help[None]=None -> Software\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Help\Pythonwin Reference[None]='E:\\tools\\Python26\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyWin32.chm' Pythonwin has been registered in context menu Creating directory E:\tools\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py Shortcut for Pythonwin created Shortcut to documentation created The pywin32 extensions were successfully installed. BTW, I've been installing Python with the "Just for me" checked because I don't like polluting my C:\Windows\system32 directory with third party DLLs. In particular, I need to set up a Python installation for all users on a network drive, so don't want any files installed on the local drive. Any tips on setting up a shared Windows Python install on a network drive for all users would be appreciated.
