Didn't work with 2.6 either.  I did the following:

1.  Removed all 2.5 stuff.
2.  Installed 2.6.2 from the MSI
3.  Did NOT instally pywin32.  I noticed there was a link on the deps page, so 
I wondered if maybe setup would grab it.
4.  Unpacked the latest snapshot
5.  Ran \python26\python setup.py build.  It got through a bunch of stuff 
(didn't install pywin32) but ultimately failed trying to build pycryptopp:

I think it didn't try to use the egg because the egg is version 0.5.12, while 
the tarball is 0.5.15.
