You need to install a 32-bit (x86) Python release from www.python.org e.g. 
Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 etc.

I finally got it working by (a) not changing the directory it gets installed in 
to something else...just left it in c:/programfiles/pyscripter ...and (B) going 
into the pyscripter folder and in the lib folder extracting the rpyc folder so 
that there is another rpyc folder inside the lib folder that isnt compressed! 
hope that helps

**Before** using PyScripter, you must ensure that there is a version of Python 
greater or equal to 2.4 installed on your machine. Windows.  If you do not have 
one 
installed, you can download one from http://www.python.org/.

The 64-bit version of PyScripter (x64) works only on 64-bit Windows **and**
with 64-bit versions of Python.  The 32-bit version of PyScripter works on both
32-bit and 64-bit Windows with the 32-bit versions of Python.
