Summary: Package for Python 2.6 is corrupt

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I just downloaded the exe for installing with Python 2.6 but I can't run the setup. The error message I get is "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

It seems that the setup available for download is corrupt.

Does Python 2.6 itself start OK?  If not, the problem is that the vs2008
"redistributables" aren't installed, which both python and pywin32 depend
on.  This is a bug in Python's installer, but once python.exe works,
pywin32 should install and work.

Forgot to mention that this is happening with build 211 only (not with
earlier builds)
