Pywin32 @ windows 7

[Algirdas Brazas]

Hi all,

Did anyone manage to get windows extensions installet on windows 7 64 bit? As 
far as I try I get only "Setup program invalid or damaged".

Ever consider that the name has WIN32 in, and not WIN64, for a
reason?


Win32 is a misnomer; it just means "non-Win16". The same API exists in 
Windows x64 (with pointers expanded to 64-bit, of course).

Try downloading the installer again. It should work then.

I haven't tested it on Win7, but my Vista machine has Python and pywin32 
x64.

Has it been built under a 64-bit OS though? (I'll confess I've not
looked -- I always install the ActiveState binary for my WinXP (32bit)
system, and that library is part of the install)


Yes, both Python x64 and pywin32 x64 are native 64-bit applications -- they 
can't even be installed on a 32-bit system.

I've been running 32-bit Python 2.5 and the 32-bit versions of PyWin32 and
wxPython on Windows 7 64-bit for many months.  No problems.

I have not tried the 64-bit Python and PyWin32 builds yet.
