In all honesty, I don't know how to do that from inside the installer.
I'll look into it for the next release. This is indeed done
automatically if you use the setup.py in a source release, although it
seems under Windows you have to run the installer twice.

You're right, you should have been getting that polite error instead
of the exception. I don't think the indentation is the problem though;
I'll look into this for the next release too. I'm glad you got it
working in the meantime.

The issue here is that I have very little experience deploying Python
apps on Windows. The last program I released for Windows was written
in Visual Basic five. ;-)
