My "that" above was ambiguous; I was actually talking about the lack
of output in the console window, and I don't know what the intent is
there.  The "extra" DLLs in pywin32_system32 didn't bother me, but
it's good to know too that they should not have <wink>.

I've seen the 2.8b2 installer work fine on 3 other boxes since then,
from Win2K to WinXP Pro, so I think this is in good shape for now. 
Thank you again for the help, Mark!
