Just for the record, this really isn't how it's intended.
I suspect that the installer expects a dll that is there by default on older systems, but not on a clean Win7 system. Often, software (like MS office) installs dlls into the system directories so that many systems will have them, but not all -- Robin must have missed one (or a couple)

I'm guessing it was only one or two that were missing, but I'm not sure how to know which.
we also had to manually create/set the PythonPath environment variable. I’m new to Python and was thinking, wow. (I’ll spare you the snarky side of my thoughts about it, mostly).
I agree -- I'm very surprised about that -- what did you have to add?
Good thing we are doggedly persistent, wonder what normal people do, har har.
for the record, this really is rare -- usually wxPython installs well out of the box, and I know Robin intends it to -- if you haven't posted this to the wxPython-users list, please do, I'm sure he'll want to fix it.
