Follow-up: When I install Python as Administrator, all is well. In that case (but not when installing it as me), it asks whether I want to install it for all users or for myself only. I then install pywin32 and it works.

So it may be that a caveat is in order to people who do not install 2.4 as Administrator.

As Martin guessed, a distutils bug, triggered with non-admin Python installs, and when the add-on package uses the pre-install-script or post-install-script option.

Please submit a report to SF.

Thanks,

Thomas
