Trying to install PythonWin 2.5 from ActiveState

5
Hi, I have a couple of questions.

I have installed PythonWin on my computer. When I click the Help->Python Manuals I receive the following message:
Internal error in help file processing
<class 'pywintypes.error'>:(2,'ShellExecute','The system cannot file the file specified.')

Also, When I click Tools->COM Makepy Util it goes off to a totally different directory. I would expect it to go to Python25/lib/site-packages/win32com/gen_py

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you,
BeckyT

Hi Becky.
Go to PythonWin View menu|Opitions. There you'll be able to change the directories on the Tools Menu tab.
