I can't tell you if this is causing your problems, but you definitely don't want to be copying your .py file or anything else into C:\Python26 You should not be manually modofying that directory or anything in it. > -Copy the .py files used in the program to C:\Python26 > -Have a setup.py in that directory too > -Open a command prompt and go to C:\Python26 Your program should be somewhere else.

I don't know whether working in the C:\python26 directory could be interfering with the operation of py2exe, but it is not impossible. I have done all of my py2exe packaging using python 2.5 If I get a chance to upgrade to 2.6 I'll let you know if your simple text case works for me. --- James Paige
