Thanks for the response :)
Where do I find the win32 extensions?

ez_setup worked fine. Thanks for that :)
According to the web site:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
the next step is to do:
virtualenv ENV
If I do that, I get the following message:
C:\Python26\Scripts>virtualenv ENV
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python26\Scripts\virtualenv-script.py", line 8, in
load_entry_point('virtualenv==1.3.3', 'console_scripts',
'virtualenv')()
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\virtualenv-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
\virtualenv.py", line 420
unzip_setuptools=options.unzip_setuptools)
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\virtualenv-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
\virtualenv.py", line 499
home_dir, lib_dir, inc_dir, bin_dir = path_locations(home_dir)
File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\virtualenv-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
\virtualenv.py", line 521
import win32api
ImportError: No module named win32api
C:\Python26\Scripts>
Any advice?

Which python version do I use with "virtualenv"?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium. As a non-techy, I want to use "virtualenv" I had Python 2.6 on my laptop. I needed "easyinstall" to install virtualenv. During installation of easyinstall, I got the message "Python 2.5 not found" So I installed Python 2.5, then installed virtualenv So I now have c:\Python 2.5 and c:\Python 2.6 On the virtualenv web site, the instructions for use are: $ python virtualenv.py ENV My question is, which "python" should I use on this command line: 2.5 or 2.6? BTW: I am currently running a Python app using 2.6. I want to install a beta upagrade of this app, without interfering with my current setup, so the app developer recommends using virtualenv. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Separate Windows versions of Python
I use Windows Vista Home Premium. I have Python 2.6 currently installed. I'm not a techy. I want to use "virtualenv". When I try to install the latest version of virtualenv for Windows, I get the message that Python 2.5 is not found. How do I install Python 2.5 (or anything else except 2.6) so that I use the correct version of Python at the correct time. For example, do I need to edit the "path" variable each time that I want to change versions from 2.5 to 2.6? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
