There is a script "regsetup.py" installed in the win32 directory somewhere.
This attempts to resurrect the registry.  It hasnt been tested for a while,
but it should work.

Something like:
python.exe regsetup.py
will setup the core stuff, and

python.exe regsetup.py --pythonwin
should get Pythonwin running.

[In fact, you hit a bug anyway - pythonwin _should_ be capable of running
without any special registry too - and now can - as of 124.]

Mark.
