Hi everyone, I was recently confronted with exactly the same problem on a brand new laptop with windows XP. I ended up having to reinstall windows XP to get pymol to install. It so happens that I had purchased the laptop together with a desktop system also under Windows-XP, and on that one, pymol installed in a breeze. So it seems to have been a problem with the Windows XP installation at production time (these were both DELL machines). All the best,

Something wacky is going on with folder names in some recent XP installs. Try changing the name of the folder to something with 8 or fewer characters: > C:\pymol1\pymol-0_99rc6-bin-win32\ to > C:\pymol1\pymolins\ and then try again.
