Summary: pywin requires Microsoft Visual Studio!?

Initial Comment:
Pywin (pywin32-204.win32-py2.4) cannot be installed,
asks for MSVCR71.dll. Guess this file is a dll from
Microsoft Visual C++. Its funny that this open source
program hosted on sourceforge requires quite expensive
microsoft program to be purchased before installation :-)
The installation program should at least point to e.g.
dll-files.com or better include the file...
