I would appreciate if you could confirm or deny the following (just so I can
get some data on this problem).

Check your Windows\System directory for pywintypes15.dll and
pythoncom15.dll.  Using Windows Explorer, view the properties of these
files, and there should be a "Version" tab.  Check the build number in the
version.

My guess is that the version is not the 124 version - for some reason the
installer neglected to overwrite the existing one.

If this is true, you can use winzip to open win32all-124.exe and extract the
files, and replace the ones in your system directory.  It should then work.

Please let me know either way if this was your problem?

Mark.
