More fun with Windows, or I still want a Mac

Update: I was able to fix the problem by booting to a DOS prompt and copying over MSVCRT.DLL from my work machine. Whee. I still hate ActiveState - why the hell were they uninstalling system files with no notice? Why can't their damn installer upgrade Python? What's all this MSI crap? Are they just MS shills? And I still hate Microsoft. I saw the Steve Ballmer "Monkey boy dance" today. I was waiting for the embolism, I can tell you.

Duh. I do this shit for a living, I should have suggested "find another Windoze box and see if its MSVCRT would work." I'm a dork, sorry.

Don't sweat it. I do this stuff for a living too and had pretty much chosen your plan above as "Plan A." Thanks for the support, though.
