Problem with installer for pywin32 with Python 2.5

There's a problem with Python 2.5 (http://www.python.or
g/sf/1465834)
which means that installers with preinstall scripts don't
work. The
pywin32 build 208 installer is one such (I reported this as
bug
1465566 before I realised this was a Python bug).

The preinstall script seems only to be used to detect old
Wise-installer versions, which are pretty old by now. Is
there any
chance of a temporary version of the installer without the
preinstall
script, just for use with the Python 2.5a1 release? I tried
building
one for myself, but I'm missing some critical dependencies
(dsound.h?)

Paul.

Done - see the SF download pages for a 2.5 (only) build of
208.1.  As an
added bonus, you get whatever has been checked into CVS
since, and whatever
I have changed but *not* checked in since ;)

Thank you for taking the time to do that, Mark.

Just to confirm, this problem has been fixed with 2.5a2.
There are a
couple of warnings from the postinstall script, but that
looks like
it's just because the API version number has changed - the
install
seems to work fine otherwise.
