On two different Windows 98SE Systems, I have attempted to upgrade working
Python 2.3.3 and win32all installations to Python 2.3.4. After what
appeared to be successful installations of Python-2.3.4.exe, I next
executed:
as downloaded from SourceForge, in the belief that it was the appropriate
companion for Python-2.3.4 (perhaps this is my mistake?). In both cases,
the installed Pythonwin outputs the following error messages and does NOT
run:
On checking, the NEW 'pywintypes23.dll' IS in c:\windows\system
If this file is copied to C:\Windows then Pythonwin starts without the error
messages and appears to work.
In previous Windows 98SE installations, the pythonwin dlls have worked OK
from
c:\windows\system where they are installed so I don't understand what's
happening here?
(Note: I've installed Python-2.3.4.exe and pywin32-201.win32-py2.3.exe on a
Windows XP sytem without this problem.)
