Lynn: First, you were working too hard. You did not need to remove 2.7.n to install 2.6.n -- they install side-by-side in C:\python27 and C:\python26. Here on my laptop, at the present moment, I have 2.3.5, 2.7.1, and 3.2 all installed. [also two versions of IronPython, one of Jython, and two others on the Linux partition.] In order to run the one I want, I have a group of batch files on my search path. For example, py32.bat contains:... c:\python32\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Second, You did not say what installation method you were using to install pywin32. The recommended way is to download the latest installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32. For 32 bit Python 2.6, it should be Build216/pywin32-216.win32-py2.6.exe<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/pywin32-216.win32-py2.6.exe/download> Each installer should automatically find its own correct version of python. Is that what you tried? -- Vernon Cole On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 11:31 AM, Lynn Oliver <rayco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > New here, so I hope I'm following correct procedures. > > Yesterday I installed python 2.7.2 on win xp and then successfully > installed pywin32-216.
