Summary: win32all-163 install problems

Initial Comment:
I've had several problems installing version 163 of the
Windows Extensions. I have seen these problems on 8
seperate machines running either Win2k or WinXP. These
machines were all previously running Python 2.3.2 with
the 157 version of the Windows extensions.

I attempted to upgrade each machine to Python 2.3.3
with version 163. The uninstall of Python 2.3.2 and 157
went smoothly on every machine. The install of Python
2.3.3 also went smoothly on every machine.

The problem comes at the end of the 163 install. When
the install goes to register the COM Server AXScript
Engine, the install either crashes or produces the
following error messages:

exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no
attribute '__import_pywin32_system_module__'
exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no
attribute 'com_error'
exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name DISPATCH_METHOD

When the install crashes, I relaunch the install for
163 and it asks if I would like to uninstall, so I
click 'Yes' and the uinstall fails, so it continues to
install 163 and works fine. However, machines that
receive the above error messages I am unable to fix or
get working.

These machines are up-to-date as far as updates and
patches but have NOT installed any kind of COM updates
or such.

Does this still happen with the 20x series builds?

I have noticed the same error.
I have a brand new Windows XP machine.

I installed Python-2.3.3.exe.
I then proceeded to try and install win32all-163.exe.
The install crashes (around 100% progress bar) and no 
cleanup is performed.

Any ideas on why this is occuring?
