The installer for build 208 -
pywin32-208.win32-py2.5.exe - doesn't work with the
newly released Python 2.5a1 binaries. (Windows XP Pro,
SP2).

The installer fails immediately with "Running the
pre-installation script failed".

I've checked this on 2 machines. There are no other
Python packages installed, beyond the base Python 2.5a1.

    Looks like preinstall script support might be broken in
    bdist_wininst. I've tried a simple example, and the
    resulting installer fails in the same way.

    I've raised a bug for Python (http://www.python.org/sf/1465834).

    This is fixed in Python 2.5a2 - it wasn't a pywin32 bug.
