We are excluding it because all Windows installation (XP and greater) have this UxTheme.dll thing installed by default, normally in C:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll. It is a library used for skinning/window appearance on Windows. As it is always installed on any Windows machine, no exception, there is no need for the executable builders to pick it up. Unfortunately, none of the executable builders I know of (PyInstaller, py2exe, cx_Freeze, bbFreeze, vendorID) are smart enough to figure this out, so we need to exclude it manually.
Please open a bug-ticket for this one. PyInstaller ha a list of dlls to exclude, we could simply add it there. Please but a link to this thread there for reference. Thanks.
If I understand it right, this would solve the problem and the workaround you described in <http://groups.google.com/group/pyinstaller/msg/13edf6a37fbbe70f> would not be necessary.
