Hello again All,
This has been resolved. After the re-install of XP i only installed my old copy of VC6. Hanni suggested that I use the setup.py script to build a custom copy. The README suggested that I should install a later copy of VC before building. I installed VC9 (express) and thought I should give the installer another try. This time the installer worked perfectly fine. Thanks to Hanni for his suggestion.
