Comment 2 for bug 324650

Because the dialog is coming from the IPython installer.

There may be another way to get at the PyWinObject_AsHandle function with
the ActiveState build. The existence of
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.5/pywin32/pywintypes.htmlstrongly
suggests that such a thing exists.
