Thanks. I probably will, or I may just use SCons, which, it turns out, can generate installers. I think I'd like to make SCons my One True Builder. But I've figured out what's wrong: instead of installing a shortcut in the start menu, which can set the start directory, the installer is installing the executable itself, which starts in some random directory, and can't see its the Python26 DLL.

Now, if I can just figure out how to get the installer to generate a shortcut, this will be a solved problem.

OK. I've gotten to the point where I can build a distribution. I can even carry it to another system, and it will work. Now, how do I write a proper installer?

Give Inno Setup a try -- it's remarkably easy and robust.
