It certainly sounds like this change in 1.8 may be related. I ran the
installer and picked the "Repair" option, but hasn't made any difference.
However, I don't fully understand the relationship with pywin32 - I've never
installed pywin32, and always use the Windows Mercurial builds that are
built with py2exe (so it doesn't use Python or any libraries from my
machine, but everything embedded within the Mercurial folder, presumably?)
