help - problem installing pywin32

Hello,

I was trying to install pywin32 on one computer which has Python 2.4
installed and it failed.
The error message I got was

"Can't load Python for pre-install script".

I tried unintalling & reinstalling python and that didn't fix the
problem.

What might be the problem? Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what the problem actually is, but as a workaround, I
found that adding Python's root directory to my path fixed it.

I'm hoping that someone here can give me some insight into a problem I'm running into with Python, pywin32 and Excel. All-in-all using Python and pywin32 is great but I've run into a strange problem with the range Offset property, I'm not getting the correct offset and the returned range is a single cell and not the same size as the original range. For example, when I enter the following lines of code in PythonWin : from...

On two different Windows 98SE Systems, I have attempted to upgrade working Python 2.3.3 and win32all installations to Python 2.3.4. After what appeared to be successful installations of Python-2.3.4.exe, I next executed: > pywin32-201.win32-py2.3.exe as downloaded from SourceForge, in the belief that it was the appropriate companion for Python-2.3.4 (perhaps this is my mistake?). In both cases, the installed Pythonwin outputs the...

I was just wondering if there are any plans to support the CreateTypeLib2 API either instead of, or in addition to, the CreateTypeLib API. I am currently using pythoncom to generate type libraries, but I ran into an issue supporting optional parameters. After a lot of digging I discovered that the old CreateTypeLib API doesn't support them. I have currently built a custom version of pywin32 that uses the new CreateTypeLib2 API, and...

Apologies in advance for what I'm sure seems like a trivial question. Operating system: Win XP Current version of Python: 2.4 If possible, I would like to have both Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 installed on my workstaiton. I downloaded the .msi for Python 2.5 from the python.org site. If I run the 2.5 installer, will it give me the option of keeping Python 2.4 installed on my workstation?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
