Basically the answer is no, you can't use distutils to do this. Instead you
should use a tool like py2exe to generate an executable for your program that
bundles the Python binaries itself along with the program. You can then create
an msi installer for your program using a free tool like WiX. Your bundled
installers can then be installed into the standard Windows location and won't
require your user to have Python installed to use your program:

http://wix.sourceforge.net/
Thanks Michael, but I don't think I want to do it that way. Py2exe was familiar
to me, but I don't like the idea of bundling Python together with my program.
I'll start to investigate the different installer systems that are available for
Windows.
Best regards,
