Hello,

Every so many months I grab the newest version of pyinstaller from svn
and run it on an application I'd like to make portable to see if it
"just works". So far it hasn't, and there are usually a bunch of error
messages in the standard python traceback style that indicate what it
stopped on this time. Today however there are no errors at all, just
the windows error dialog "... has stopped working", and "do you want
to send more information [to microsoft]?"

The application is the Leo Editor 
http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html,
updated from bzr this morning (r4602, 
https://code.launchpad.net/~leo-editor-team/leo-editor/trunk).
It relies on PyQt4. Pyinstaller is svn r1693, exported to a new
directory. Python is 2.7, 32 bit.

I built the exe by, open command shell with py2.7 active and:
{{{
Path=C:\o4w_py27\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows
\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows
\sysWOW64;c:\local\bin;b:\bin
PYTHONHOME=C:\o4w_py27\apps\Python27

pyinstaller.bat --onedir b:\apps\leo-editor\launchLeo.py
}}}

The resulting application is started from a command shell stripped of
any PYTHON environment variables. PATH is deleted completely to
sidestep the possibility of some dll or other from another directory
interfering.

I'm not a developer, just some guy trying to hack my way through stuff
and is occasionally successful. Is there something I can do, given
that my python skills are anemic, to try and determine what is
breaking?

thanks,

-matt
