Mark - you are a godsend - that was it! Thank you!
My setup looks a bit alien to what you pasted here though (and I may
have to revisit that at some point soon I fear) but I adapted it and -
whaddya know? Whee! It flies!
I also found the InnoSetup stuff for installing the OCX -which flew fine
as well. Just tested the install on 2 virginal systems and one that had
the 'old' OCX installed still as well - all worked like champs.
Now to fill in all the rest of the forms-code and make the reporting and
uplink features complete! I just might make my deadline after all. :)
Thanks to your timely and expert assistance.
If you happen to see anything wrong on the setup I am using below, or
could you comment on the method I am using - am I really that far off
from what you showed? ..and I CAN remove the `"dll_excludes":
"dapi.dll,mapi32.dll",` line, right? py2exe doesn't automagically add
those, and since I don't include any of those modules - it should not be
necessary to list it in the excludes.. right?
