Summary: Win98 SE pythonwin run failure

Initial Comment:
I installed the 2.3.4rc1 then your 201 build and found
an error when I started pywin.   The target system is a
Win98 SE /w 64 RAM 4 GigaHD, nothing special etc.  I've
run 2.3.3 and wiin32all previously and all was ok.  Let
me know if there is anything I can do to correct this.
 Thanks for your package it has made a real difference.

this is a dupe of bug 917702

Solution:
1. Add C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM to your PATH (c:\autoexec.bat)

OR 

2. Move pywintypes23.dll and that other dll (py*.dll) to
C:\windows

OR

3. Move those files to C:\Python23
