Summary: Unable to build .msi package

Initial Comment:
I forced to use msi installation package because of network needs so I tried to create msi by bdist_msi but it didn\'t work correctly because of 

ValueError: invalid version number \'216\'

Could you please help me to build msi package?

Message:
Thanks for your report, but this tracker is for reporting bugs in pywin32
rather than a place to request new features - in addition, I have no
experience with building MSI packages and believe there will be issued
attempting to run the post_install script from a .MSI.  If you can get this
going I'd be happy to consider accepting patches.

You may like to try requesting help from the python-win32 mailing list
where many more people will see your request and be able to help.  You need
to be subscribed to the list before you can post to it - see
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 for subscription
options.
