Building from Source

Hello all,

I have just tried to build the Pywin32 extensions from
source - using 
the "pywin32-210.zip" archive.

I have Visual Studio 2005 installed and have built Pywin32
from source 
before. I'm using Python 2.4 under Windows XP.

The build fails as follows, can anyone suggest a reason ?

C:Python Binariespywin32-210>setup.py bdist_wininst

Hi Michael,

>     raise RuntimeError, "Can't find a version in
Windows.h"
> RuntimeError: Can't find a version in Windows.h

I've no idea why that would happen unless the Windows.h we
found isn't the
correct one - no one else has ever reported it before.  All
I can suggest is
to add some 'print' statements to try and diagnose what is
going on.

Cheers,

Mark
