Summary: pythonwin2.4 won't install

Initial Comment:
I've just spent 3 hours installing/uninstalling 
python/pythonwin about 5 times. Hate to think what my 
registry looks like (WindowsXP).

Bottom Line: I don't think pywin32-202.win32-py2.4 
works with python-2.4a3.2. PythonWin never shows up 
in the Python program group, even though both installers 
indicated everything went OK.

Also: You can't select the 'install for this user only' 
option when installing python, or else when you go to 
install pythonwin you get the error message "Can't load 
Python for pre-install script".

I went back to python-2.2.3 with pywin32-202.win32-
py2.2.exe and this worked OK. (What's with these 
version numbers anyway? 2.2.3 goes with 2.2?)

Only now I can't delete the c:\Python24 directory 
because I don't have access rights to some directory 
named c:\Python24\Lib\test.

Man, if this keeps up, I may have to go back to plan B 
(VBScript).
