the EXE is a complete distribution, the ZIP is a patch to
that distribution.

alternatives:

    if you have the pythonwin extensions, use kevin cazabon's
    PIL installer: http://members.home.com/lenticular/

    if you don't have pythonwin, see the following post where
    greg landrum explains how to use the ZIP file with the
    python.org distribution:
