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.
