Well, when I open a windows standard-file dialog, THG will display the
overlay-icons in that dialog too.
So when it starts, it tries to open and load some pywin32 pythoncom DLL,
which will redirect logging to a windows service (I believe).
Unfortunately it does that from the current Python process, uses the current
PythonPath to load the PyWin32 modules, and the output from the current
Python process will all be redirect to (I believe) the system event logger.
I'm sorry that I can't be more specific and can't paste the one last message
I do see in my stdout. The computer on which I am typing now cannot install
TortoiseHG, and the computer on which I do have these problems is not
currently on the net -- besides, I just installed a new THG version but
didn't yet reboot, so now all I get is a traceback with an importerror that
some Win32Com DLL cannot be loaded from
"C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py".
But I cann't copy-paste that traceback into the mail until tonight...
So I hope that I have now given enough information already to say something
about the problem, otherwise it will have to wait until later today when my
laptop can be hooked up to the internet again.

I'm sorry. And even more sorry I am for not posting this problem some months
earlier, when I first discoverd it and realized what was happening.
BTW, I do have PythonWin / Win32com extensions installed. I discovered
earlier that after installing THG, I needed to reinstall them in order to be
able to use them. That at least appears to be fixed now... :-)
