Simply moving the win32 install and setting the python path isn't all
you need to do to get a network install working. In addition, you need
to remove the win32 from your local install (or piss around with
sys.path to strip out those local references) as that will automatically
be included. In addition, there is a registry setting you need to
delete which automagically adds to the python path - it's in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
That's probably won't solve your problem but it's somethng to be
aware of anyways.
