Setting up hgwebdir with Apache and WindowsXP

[Benoît Allard]

So far, your problem is there:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/xampp/htdocs/hgwebdir.cgi", line 68, in <module>
   wsgicgi.launch(application)
File "mercurial\\hgweb\\wsgicgi.pyc", line 69, in launch

File "mercurial\\demandimport.pyc", line 47, in _load
  ImportError: No module named pywintypes

And more substantially, the last line.

There has been a fix two weeks ago to correct a similar problem
http://hg.xavamedia.nl/mercurial/crew/rev/2bc14da14992

But I don't know enough of demandimport to know if you're experiencing 
the same problem.

Maybe you can try with a recent crew.
