VMware and pywin32 error...

[dash]

Hallo,

has anyone experience with installing Python and pywin32 to Windows XP
Pro running in a VMware environment?

At the end of installing pywin32 I get following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 601, in <module>
File "<string>", line 311, in install
File "<string>", line 149, in LoadSystemModule
ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start
because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the
application may fix this problem.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use following versions:

VMware Workstation 6.5.0 build-118166
Microsoft Windows XP Professional English Build 2600
added SP1 and than SP3
Python 2.6.1
pywin32 213


Thank you in advance for any help
Werner

I've installed and run Python and pywin32 in a VMWare environment and have
had no trouble. This is not an issue with VMWare. Something is
misconfigured in your XP and/or Python install. I'm assuming you installed
Python before installing pywin32?

Yes. Of course. Python 2.6.1 installs with no problem.

BTW: I get the same result, if I use Microsoft VirtualPC 2007 instead of
VMware...
