	Didn't M$ decree, some years ago, that application specific DLLs (in
this situation, Python is the application) should install in the
application path, and NOT in any system path.

	I find the corresponding DLL in

e:\Python25\libs

(I've started putting third party applications on the e: partition as my
C: partition was getting too tight for defrag operations)... Oh,
ActiveState Python 2.5 install here...

	Most likely you need to put the Python libs directory into your
system PATH (not PYTHONPATH) variable.
