Summary: dll's in wrong folder after installation

Initial Comment:
Using the installer for build 216 and 217 I had an error at the end which I've attached to this bug report.

Win32com didn't import properly. The reason for this is that three dll's were in the wrong folder.

* pywintypes26
* pythoncomloader26
* pythoncom26

They needed to be moved to win32 folder. This problem was reported on stack overflow nearly a year ago and the fix is still the same. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7238403/import-win32api-error-in-python-2-6

I use Python 2.6 32-bit version on Windows 7 64-bit version.

Message:
What is the most recent thing shown in the main installer window when this
happens?  There might even be a pywin32_postinstall.log (or something like
that :) in your temp directory - could you grab that while the error dialog
is up and attach it here?  I'm going to need help to work out exactly when
and why it happens...

Message:
The problem happens right at the end.

I tried build 217, uninstalled, tried again, uninstalled, tried build 216,
uninstalled, tried 217 again. On each of these occasions I had the same
error.

Message:
The install script should copy them there (or to system32) - I expect that
error is the problem.

When exactly during the install process does this happen - right at the
end?  Is this reproducible - ie, can you uninstall then reinstall and see
the same issue?

Thanks!
