Maybe I should open > a thread on this ... I'd again suggest one of the freely available Windows installers like Inno Setup. You just configure it to take all of the files generated by py2exe, package them up into a single "setup" executable (or several files if needed for small media) which takes care of all of the installation headaches under Windows, registering for de-installation, etc... Typically the trickier part is getting all the files collected with py2exe in the first place, but it sounds like you've already done that. And to your end users, this will appear just like any other Windows "setup" installation (though it's not msi). -- David |
