Since I'm running XP in a VM, I just took it back to a clean install and 
installed python 2.5 instead of 2.6 (and pywin32 for 2.5, and py2exe for 2.5, 
of course). The script again runs just fine when using the normal python 
interpreter.

Unfortunately, I got the same result: After running setup.py py2exe, 
it "compiled" successfully, but when I run
ftpserver.exe install
it gives me the (same) error:

Traceback ..:
   File "boot_service.py", line 45, in <module>
servicemanager.startup_error: PrepareToHostMultiple failed!


This is my testing virtual machine; it's a clean slate, so I imagine this 
means the problem is with me somewhere. I attached my source code just in 
case.
