[Grok-dev] grokproject kicks a win32api error

[Behrang Dadsetan]

Hi Squidward,

I have no experience with 64bit Vista but I remember when installing
pywin32 you need to pick the pywin32 version for your python version.
There is a different pywin32 for 2.5 than there is for 2.6. It also
does not look like there is any 2.5 version of pywin compiled for a 64
bit platform. Not sure whether it is required but this might be part
of your problem.

We are hopeful our 2.6 support is coming soon (specially with the our
move to the ZTK as I understand it) but for now you really should go
for Python 2.5. With exact error messages in hand you could try to
approach the pywin community with
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=78018&atid=551954 and see
whether they can assist you with any installation issues you may have
with the 2.5 version of pywin.

Kind regards,
Ben.
