Summary: unable to install to a chosen python version

Initial Comment:
The installer for pywin32-204.win32-py2.3.exe works
fine for a XP sp1, 2002, machine with only one version
of python installed. 

However, I have zope, which has its own default python
(that I do not use), as well as my manually installed
principal python version. I want pywin to install to my
principal python instance but the installer will not
let me select this python instance or modify the
auto-windows-magically detected installation path (for
some reason this is the Zope version).

Please please give the user control over the
installation path for pywin.

Unfortunately the installer package we use is not capable of
asking where to install.  The problem is that Zope has
changed the Python entries in your registry.  If you open:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.3\InstallPatch

And reset it to point at the top of your real Python install
(eg, "C:\Python23"), the installation should succeed.
