Summary: pywin32-215.win32-py2.6.exe ERROR

Initial Comment:
So after struggling with errors trying to use the 64 bit version of PythonWin, I learned that my application can only interface with the 32 bit version.  So I uninstalled EVERYTHING today and decided to start over.  Due to the constraints of my application (ArcGIS), I have to use the Python 2.6 version.  I downloaded pywin32-215.win32-py2.6.exe, but I'm getting the follow error at the very end of the install:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 5, in <module>
ImportError: No module named os

Any advice on what might be the problem here?

Thanks!

Message:
Sorry I wasn't clear - I was referring to the python install, not pywin32. 
The pywin32 installer is failing to load python, so it looks as though
python itself is messed up.

I simply downloaded the .exe file (the one in the thread title) and ran it.
 There is no "reinstall" because the program did not install.  Due to this
error, the install failed.

Message:
This implies the python install is pretty borked - how did you install it
and can you try reinstalling it?
