I'm using the pywin32-216.win32-py2.6.exe package to install pywin32 on Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. I am seeing the following post install errors. Could someone help me understand what going wrong? Thanks in advance.

I managed to fix the problem by eventually cleaning all traces of Python 2.6 from my system and re-installing it + pywin32. It was eventually as simple as just double clicking the setup files.
