Summary: PythonWin not installed in context menu.

Initial Comment:
In earlier builds (142 to 163, at least), PythonWin was
installed to the Explorer context menu so I could
right-click and "Open with PythonWin".

I used this a lot!  Where did it go in 202?

It appears this was missed when the installer switched to distutils.
The registry entries for the right-click context menu have been
added to the postinstall script. (pywin32_postinstall.py rev 1.19)

I think I'm getting a similar error with 203.

When I first installed 203, the postinstall script aborted
due to the missing MFC DLL. Now, uninstalling/reinstalling
203 doesn't seem to make any difference - I still have no
direct option in the context menu to edit files with
Pythonwin. (Not a huge hassle, due to XP's 'Open with'
submenu, but still kind of annoying).

See bug 990048. I'm willing to bet the installer got an
error in the postinstall script, so it skipped all later
steps (including the Explorer integration stuff) but still
reported success overall.
