Yes, that's not a typo.
Well, it's the Python installer that's doing the installing; I assume it's doing it correctly. In fact, when I look at C:\Windows\SysWOW64, I can see python27.dll. > When a 32-bit application refers to System32, the operating system > automatically rewrites the path to SysWOW64. Now, if your Cygwin is a > 32-bit app, it could be getting fooled as well. So, if I "cd" to "/c/Windows/System32", and do "ls -l python27.dll", it's really looking at "/c/Windows/SysWOW64" instead? That's why I see it with msys's "ls" and "file", but not with cmd.exe and "dir", or depends.exe? > I suggest you start up a command shell and see where the file really > lives. If it really lives in system32, you'll need to move it. Looks like it's in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\, as it should be. Thanks, Tim.
