Hello,
I've installed Python 2.4 and the win32 extensions, using administrator
rights, under Windows XP in "C:\Programme". As this is a directory
without spaces I didn't expect any problems. But now I can't _use_
win32com as a normal user, because normal users can't write there:
PythonWin 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32.

Do I have to move my Python installation to another directory with write
permissions for normal users? Or is there a simpler way? This might not
be a problem for users with english Windows installations who can get
bitten anyway by the space in "program files". But in my german
installation I never had a reason to install Python outside of "Programme".
Thanks for any help,
Koczian
