Hello All, I am working on creating an installer which installs pywin32 silently on the target VM. I am able to achieve that with Mark's suggestion at https://sourceforge.net/p/pywin32/feature-requests/86/.
My concern though is that the user of the target VM should be able to install the original pywin32 installer (by original I mean the one wherein he/she can go through the UI to install pywin32) if he/she chooses since I can't really place any restriction on the user. So, if the user does install pywin32 after my custom pywin32 the installation is successful but when the user uninstalls the pywin32, it deletes all the files and folders that my custompywin32 uses. To workaround that, I installed the custom pywin32 at a different location (didn't copy the supporting files to site-packages but to other location) and modified my scripts to use the custom location. I also had to manually copy the pywintypes27.dll and place it under win32 directory under my custom location to make it work. But after doing this, when I install pywin32, the installation completes but at the final page it says below things: "Close failed in file object destructor Error in sys.excepthook Original exception was:" Any tips on how to avoid this or any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Let me know if you need more clarification on the question or on the description of my question. Thanks, Nikhil
