Is this no longer available? Sorry, I just deleted that. I now replaced it with python-2.5.13231.amd64.msi

Thanks, I'll try that.

BTW: When I build Python for ReleaseAMD64 myself, the exe crashes at the first PyBuildValue call. That doesn't happen for me... can you find out why it crashes? (and what is the buildvalue call it crashes on)?

In sys_getwindowsversion:

return Py_BuildValue("HHHHs",
                     ver.dwMajorVersion,
                     ver.dwMinorVersion,
                     ver.dwBuildNumber,
                     ver.dwPlatformId,
                     ver.szCSDVersion);

The crash disappears if I change the first parameter in the Py_BuildValue call to "LLLLs". No idea why. With this change, I can start the exe without a crash, but sys.versioninfo starts with (IIRC) (2, 0, 5,...).
