[reportlab-users] Windows ReportLab Demo Installation

[Ashley Lloyd]

I have been attempting to install the demo (ReportLabDemo-1.17.exe) on Win 
2k, and have been encountering errors.
The contents of POST_INSTALL_LOG.txt are as follows:

I also tried runAll.py, and the results are as follows:

Can anyone provide any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

Kind regards
