It could be a hint to the problem, though.

Jacob: what language version is your Vista installation? Is
"c:\Programmer" the local translation of "c:\Program Files"?

Perhaps something doesn't work right with symbolic links on Vista.
Unfortunately, I have only the English version of Vista for testing.

Can you two please install Python into a non-standard folder that
isn't a symbolic link?
