I'm trying to install the pywin32-214.win32-py2.5.exe package onto a Windows XP
virtual machine running on VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). I've got python
2.5 installed. Whenever I try to run the pywin32-214.win32-py2.5.exe, it first
gives me a "Run As" dialog that asks me which ID it should run under, either my
own ID (which has administrator privileges) or Administrator. If I choose my
own ID, I get a Runtime Error saying "Access is denied. Could not open archive."
If I try to run it as Administrator, it just instantly pops back to the same
"Run As" dialog. I've tried logging in as Administrator, but I get the same
thing. I've tried the version 213 package, and I get the same thing. I've
installed PIL, FileZilla, etc. with no problems. I just can't seem to get
pywin32's installer to run. Any suggestions? Thanks.
