Compare your windows registries; mine didn't get updated properly on
install, and I had to do it by hand. I'm on Windows 98; as I recall,
the error messages weren't identical to yours, but the gist was that
standard system modules couldn't be found.
I had previously installed Python2.1, and didn't uninstall it. To fix
the problem, I simply exported the Python2.1 registry branch -- on 98
and on my installation, that's
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.1]
and modified it for 2.2 paths and names, with the assumption that the
paths were the same from 2.1 to 2.2, and imported it again -- you can
probably just export that branch from the working machine, check that
the paths make sense on the non-working machine, and import there.
I meant to write this up sooner, but got distracted.
