Also I found out that if the frozen fies are located in a directory path
with non-ASCII characters (Chinese in this case) the exe file will pop up
with "cannot get zipimporter instance".
Tested this with both XP and Windows7.
example pathnames:
C:\Users\kevin\Desktop\你好
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\桌面\UTF8toC
Note I stumbled on this one because of the Win9x desktop naming convention
along with a Chinese OS. I think I read you would or have fixed it, so maybe
you just didn't push the update through yet (or I didn't get the latest!)
Happy new years,
KH
