It will carry all dependencies. No need to install python, wxpython ... by the time I get it ready Hint: Try substituting "python" by "pythonw" and it will run without the black window.

I plan to take care of that inside the binary installer which will make sure paths are correct. I will tyr to read the pythn path from the registry and run it to see if I got it right. There will be no need for this one the version packaged with py2exe will be out. > > At first I could find no patients, neither Spock nor Kirk seemed to > exist and I was forced into a "create patient" widget that I could > cancel from.

Yes. I think Karsten made the change but my binary will client will not reflect this until I package it again. Could you please put a known issues section on the release page and mention the two issues there ? That would be great. I won't update the packages befor October I think. 5 weeks or so. > > Do we have any idea what is the problem with the date of birth field > being rejected?
