#374 Installer for Python 2.5 / v211 does not work
After Downloading the Win-Installer for Python 2.5 / v211 and starting it for installation using the current user (not admin), the message "Setup program invalid or damaged" appears and the installer exits.
Tried different mirrors to download (Berlin, Kent) - same results.

I am getting a similar error. I am trying to install pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe on Windows XP and Python 2.5.2 (Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32). When I try to execute the pywin32 installer, I get a dialog with the message "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem".

I solved my problem. I found pywin32-212.win32-py2.5.exe by poking around sourceforge some more. This file works. Why is the default download targeted for Python 2.6 when that version is still in beta? Is there any way to configure the default download page to display more than the 2.6 version?
