Yes, this was my original thought too, but this approach imply that
Python lives under C:/Python24 (or C:/Python25 or whatever version we
want), which is not always the case. Someone might install Python
under D:/Program Files/Python24 for example, although I never
encountered such a case. There are obvious workarounds to this
problem, I just wanted to hear different opinions on how best
implement this in GUI2Exe.
