Summary: easy_install silently fails

Initial Comment:
If I install pywin32 by executing pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe , it works.

If I run "easy_install pywin32" then it claims that it is downloading and installing pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe , and after a while it claims that it has successfully installed it, but an attempt to use pywin32 yields errors like this:

$ python -c 'import win32process'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.


I'm not sure whether this should be considered a bug in pywin32 or in easy_install, or both.

Regards,

Zooko
