thanks for the quick reply, I copied the executable to my local drive and it installed corre
ctly. 

I noticed that py2exe no longer creates a folder under dist. In previous versions, there wou
ld be py2exe would create a folder for the project being built and then put all the files fo
r that project in that folder. 

Is there a reason why that solution was abandoned. Is there a configuration that I can set t
o enable that feature?

Thanks
Moiz

This can be caused either when you try to run the exe from a readonly
network drive, or when you are trying a non-admin installation.

My plan is to release the next version this week which *should* fix both
of the problems,  if all fails you can still open the exe with winzip,
extract the files and copy them manually in place (although this is not
recommended).  Or grab the zip file, and build yourself (you need a C
compiler for that).

If you wish I can send you by private email to test if the problems are
fixed before the release.
