AW: [mod_python] Apache service won't start after module import

Hi again,

I tried changing the access rights, but that didn't help. Also, Python was
installed as Administrator. For confidence, I also installed Python2.5
together with the current version of mod_python (to have a clean, new
install) - same result. The service currently runs as a system account.

Ensure that the mod_python module and the Microsoft C/C++ runtime
library used, plus the Python runtime library all have access rights
which would allow the user that the Apache service runs as to read and
use them. Also ensure that you install Python as an administrator so
that the Windows registry entries were setup for the whole machine and
not just you as a user.
