Summary: Installer for Python 2.5 / v211 does not work

Initial Comment:
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.

Regards, HB

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?

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".
