Ahh - sorry, I missed that you are building pywin32 yourself.

The installer that you provided crashes for me in the same way.

installers that I have made today for Python 2.6 have succeeded. Very

Yes, strange. The creation of the .pyc files is done by the installer exe and it will be *that* runtime which is of interest - but depends shows the surprised a version you build yourself does that though, as I don't believe installer binary works for me (at least, it doesn't crash - but it does give a useless error message at the end ("*** run_installscript: internal error IIRC, building python and pywin32 from source - even the release versions -

Yes, and it showed the crash happening in a call to realloc(). The call stack seemed oddly short, so I may have been looking at the wrong thread or something like that. I did not give it a lot of attention at the time, but I can look into it more tomorrow (in about 14 hours). Thanks for the feedback.
