There is a buglet in bdist_wininst and --skip-build - note that the filename created by your process doesn't have "py2.6" included in the filename. To fix that, the final command should also include "--target-version=2.6"

VS2005 support isn't *that* interesting to me as there are no Python binaries available built with that compiler and I can't get VS.NET to build with the most recent Vista SDK, which is needed for recent pywin32 functionality. A Python 2.6 amd64 build will be included in the next release.

It is necessary for us to use 64 bit python due to objects within our application exceeding 2GB in size. I am attempting to do so using msvc 2005 which I know is not ideal, but I have managed to build the other dependencies (Python, numpy), my attention is now on pywin32. Firstly although I have managed to get it compiling, I was not able to use the instruction: setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64 The setup script reported plat-name as not existing. Secondly is anyone building pywin32 on 64 bit machines? Although I seem to have hacked it suficiently to get it to compile linking fails with errors of this manner: MSVCRT.lib(gs_support.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_Get CurrentThreadId referenced in function __security_init_cookie I appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks Hanni
