Summary: v215/py.32 win32 install fails 32 and 64-bit

Initial Comment:
Both pywin32-215.win32-py3.2.exe and pywin32-215.win-amd64-py3.2.exe throw and exception on install:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 604, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 332, in install
  File "<string>", line 15, in write
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'
Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'flush'" in <__main__.Tee object at 0x033995B0> ignored

As a result, 
import win32com.client as win32

fails like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\EQ\InventoryDumps\testScript1.py", line 1, in <module>
    import win32com.client as win32
  File "D:\Python32\lib\site-packages\win32com\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Importing sys and os separately works fine, looks like win32api install failed.

Message:
running the post-install script was to be my next suggestion :)  How did
you start the installer - from a cmd-prompt?  IThis has been reported
before, but it works fine for many (including me) too!

Update: I ran "C:\Python32\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install" after
the failed installation, and now it works :)  I'm happy!
Still, the installer should be investigated though if you have the time. 
Mark:  Thanks for your time and effort on this project!

Hi!  I am on Vista 64bit, using Python 3.2.    It fails with
pywin32-216.1.win32-py3.2.exe!  By accident, I noticed that I could install
the 64 bit python and the 64bit pywin without any problems.  Unfortunately,
I have to control a 32 bit com object, so I uninstalled all python, deleted
registry and the python directory and started from scratch with 32bit
python and pywin, and then it fails.

Is there something I can do to help you debug this?   I'm not sure where
to start.

216 build, 64-bit installed OK.  I didn't try the 32-bit version.

Do you have the same problem in build 216?
