If you install 64-bit Python, any extensions must also be 64-bit. If you look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/ you'll notice separate builds for 64-bit, marked amd64. Are you sure you got the pywin32-214.win-amd64-py2.6.exe and not the normal one? Alternatively, you can just get the 32-bit version of both and install them. But you can't mix and match, 32-bit one, 64-bit the other, in that case they won't find each-other. --S
