Brian,

  I think you might wanna try looking at the setup file that you're 
using with py2exe. It should look something like this:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
    version = "1.0",
    description = "your program name",
    name = "name",

    windows = ["your_program_here.py"],
    data_files = [
        ('', ['<Paula from archive>.rsrc.py', ], ),
    ]
)

distutils does not include PythonCard resource files by default into 
final dist directory (PythonCard does not "import" the resource file.. 
it opens it, so distutils would not be able to detect that). In this 
case, the missing file is your PythonCard resource file, which should be 
included as shown in the script. Then again, you could simply copy your 
resource file '<Paula from archive>.rsrc.py' into the dist directory 
after compiling. I reckon that would work.. it worked for me =)

If you still can't get it working, try reading this link -
