cx_Freeze also includes a compiled library, cx_Freeze.util, which will only
work on the version of Python (32 or 64 bit) that it's compiled for.

The main important points are:
- Your installation of Python is either 32 bit or 64 bit, and you need to
install the version of cx_Freeze matching this. It's not necessarily the
same as your OS - you can run 32 bit Python on a 64 bit system (but not
vice versa).
- If you use 64 bit Python and cx_Freeze, your frozen application will only
work on 64 bit systems. New systems in the last few years have all been 64
bit, but older computers, e.g. ones running Windows XP, are often still 32
bit. If a significant chunk of your target audience is still on XP, make
sure to use 32-bit versions of Python, cx_Freeze, and any compiled
libraries you're using. (Although XP is now officially out of support, so
hopefully people are moving away from it)
