Awesome! This might be the thing I need then since there seems to be some subtle bug in cx_freeze. How is your setup.py written for pywin32/cx_freeze? Do you just not specify anything specific and cx_freeze is smart enough to pull in the pywin32 pyd files and all that? Then once you generate the exe, it correctly handles the argv parameters and gives it to python (and pywin32's win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine()?
