Hi Art -

One tip that's maybe obvious: You can go to a shell and type 'set' and
check your env vars from there, if you are concerned about "what
environment variables are being set where".

I was able to run on xp with no probs, once I'd verified that my
environment was set up correctly.  For example - a box opening up
saying 'cannot find python24.dll' just sounds like the python 2.4
installer didn't add the correct dir to your %PATH%.

Sorry if this is all super-obvious to you :)
