I have a version of Vim compiled with python 2.6 support enabled (from here). however vim cannot find the python26.dll.

:version confirms +python/dyn
:version and gvim.exe confirms DYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL="python26.dll"
echo PATH confirms python26.dll is in the search path.
    (both c:\windows\system32, and C:\python26)

What could I be missing? Did I skip something silly?
