Donald: I'm going to do a little information thing here... Active Python is a package put together by ActiveState. It is a commercial product (with some licensing restrictions) that has both commercial and community support. You can find support for that package at http://www.activestate.com/support/ .
As far as I know, it is simply a repackaging of two (perhaps more?) free and open source packages, which you can download separately and which have their own support mechanisms -- including the one you are using now. Python is found at http://www.python.org/download/ and pywin32 is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ You might want to try downloading these original packages to see whether your installation problems go away. In exchange for the additional difficulty of downloading two packages, rather than only one, you have the advantage of knowing that you will never have to pay for a redistribution license. -- Vernon Cole On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 10:28 AM, Liu, Donald (H USA) < donald....@siemens.com> wrote: > Hi Mark, > > Thanks for your reply.
