Summary: Installation crash in recent win32all's.

Initial Comment:
The win32all installer has been crashing on me for
the last few win32all releases.

This has happened for Python 2.2.3 with win32all-156
and Python 2.3 with win32all-157.  It has also
happened for some previous win32all releases
(such as 153 and 155 with Python 2.3).

The error occurs during the `Completing Installation'
stage, when the message box says
`Registering COM Server AXScript Engine'.  The
error message is the usual `This program has performed
an illegal operation and will be shut down' message.
Pressing the `Details' button gives:

WIN32ALL-156 caused an invalid page fault in
module MSVCRT.DLL at 016f:7800b936.

01ddac2c 00760840 00000000 00000001 bff813f8 
81d52568 

(This is with Python 2.2.3 and win32all-156.)

This has happened on both WinXP and Win98SE.

Once this happens, the win32all uninstaller doesn't
work (says `can't find install.log').

If Python is installed with the `Non-Admin' option,
then win32all installs fine (presumably because it
never reaches the `Registering COM Server AXScript
Engine' stage).

I haven't seen anyone else report this, so looks like
I'm the only one.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you please see if running
"win32comext\axscript\client\pyscript.py" also crashes for you?

An admin install should still actually work fine - just
can't be uninstalled, and a couple of demo COM objects won't
be installed.
