Starting Python from autorun.inf on WinXX?

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm a Linux/Unix guy don't know much about
WinXX.  I've tried to put the following into the autorun.inf
of a CD-Rom:

[autorun]
OPEN=test\dosbin\pythonw.exe test\hello.pyw
ICON=archiv.ico,0

That didn't work, because win98 refuses to find python15.dll. 
(Of course, I should have  known this :-( )
Than I tried to put a .bat file into autorun.inf, that does a
proper setup of PYTHONPATH, TCL_LIBRARY and so on.  But this also
didn't work, because WinXX seems to refuse to start a batch file 
from autorrun.inf?  Is that true?  Is there a workaround so that
I still can autostart a Python/Tk GUI from CD without having the
user to install Python on his WinXX box first?

Best regards and thanks in advance, Peter
