Hi Zooko,

I guess the reason is a document inconsistence. I don't remember there
was a quickstart document talking about Tahoe installation on Windows
half year ago. For Windows installation, I have been always going to
AdvancedInstall page.

Also, my bad, I didn't write any note before when I first time
successfully installed Tahoe on Windows. Maybe, I did install pywin at
some point. But, because I am a newbie on Python, so, all these
packages dependency is not connected together logically in my brain.
:-)

So, I just like to confirm that
1, Is pywin the root cause of my problem? I didn't install that on my
new Windows XP virtual machine.
2, Is pywin needed for any Windows platform, XP, vista, windows 7?

Thanks,
-Shu
