Thanks. That was actually one of my (failed) attempts for solving my problem.

Now it seems there is some major pitfall with the installation,
because I can not even run a simple ShellCommand like ["echo Helllo
buildbot world"]...

My setup is with:

Pyhton 2.4.4 from python.org
Twisted 2.4
pywin32 build210

and a builder with single shellcommand step fails without reporting
the traceback (which is perfectly visible on the slave):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c echo Hello buildbot world

any ideas?
