Summary: 64-bit installation fails when using custom folder

Initial Comment:
(Note:  I am new to Python but an experienced IT guy).  I installed Python 3.2.2 to C:\Program Files\Python32 instead of the default location of C:\Python32.  No apparent problems with the Python installation.  I then tried to install pywin32-216.  The installation program crashes hard every time.  I uninstalled Python and then re-installed in the default location.  pywin32-216 installed without a problem.  Thought I'd report this in case I'm not the only one experiencing a problem.

Just in case it matters, this is on a Windows PC running Windows 7 Professional with all updates.  The hardware is an i7-2600K CPU, ASUS P67 motherboard, 16 Gb of RAM, & 2x2Gb drives with lots of free space.
