The version in pywin32_system32 will never be used at runtime.  It is a
side-effect of the bdist_wininst hacks I pull in a normal pywin32 install.

On my box, even with a version in %system32%, I now only ever get the Zope
bin version loaded - which should mean people with older versions in
system32 will not (since yesterdays patch) have a problem either.  Note the
careful use of 'should' <wink>'
