I've gone ahead and installed python and the dependancies I need
under XP so I can run PyInstaller on it.  I just used
ArchiveViewer.py to compare the .exe generated under XP to the
one generated under Windows 7.  Aside from some offset
differences starting with irprops.cpl, the XP build does include
some files not found in the Windows 7 build.  Specifically,
DEVMGR.DLL SETUPAPI.dll WMI.dll

Those look a lot like system DLLs to me. It could actually be
necessary to add those to PyInstaller's exclude list. Does the
executable generated in XP run in Windows 7?

Yes, it does.

If those system DLLs are present in the XP build, which runs on XP
and W7, how would adding them to an exclude list allow a build on W7
to run on XP?

No, the other way around. If the XP build would fail on W7, then adding those DLLs to the exclude list may have helped.

Does it tell XP, "Hey, you think you need these, but
really you don't.  Get on with things already."

What do I need to do to test with those files on the exclude list?
