No luck after installing Python. I wish I knew for sure if it had something to do with the service, or if a straight install of 2.3.1 wouldn't work either. Guess it wouldn't make any difference if I created a user account to try it with, since it would still be pointing to the same winsxs folder? Maybe remove the existing .ini file and try? Although I can't see how that would matter. Must be something that isn't installed on the server that would normally be installed.

I had another ahaaaaah moment: the link I send you before is for the X86 version but you are running the X64 version.
The SABnzbd installer also only checks for the X86 version and not the X64 version. Since all newer versions of Windows don't need this dependency, it's never been a problem.

I think this is the package you need:
