Although it finished, I have no idea where the program is. It does not

I've had these messages (key) occur on other Python installs as I

You may want to consider dumping the thing and going for PyInstaller, 
which in my experience is better and has friendly developer community 
behind it.

Well,Ive made some progress with a py2exe tutorial. It starts with the 
short hello world! program. But something stumbled right away in 
setup.py. I'm on a mail list to sort this out.
