Hi Bob, It's possible that your system does not have the Visual C runtime that pywin32 was compiled with, though that is a wild guess. I take from your email that it's the installer that's crashing and not using pywin32. I'm also assuming python runs fine on that system, which further eliminates the runtime being an issue. I created a pywin32 MSI for my day job a while back and it has been working well for us. It runs successfully on win2k, winxp, wepos and Windows Embedded. Maybe it will work for you. http://stuff.nutricateonline.com/python/pywin32-2.1.2.win32-py2.6.msi $ md5sum pywin32-2.1.2.win32-py2.6.msi 2685633b80fa03286da08965dd91cb5a pywin32-2.1.2.win32-py2.6.msi $ sha1sum pywin32-2.1.2.win32-py2.6.msi e7a3950c1a0f588bae777e605494276bff5a0452 pywin32-2.1.2.win32-py2.6.msi Apologies, but I cannot guarantee the long-term existence of the URL above. -Roberto. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
