Gordon's Install

[C. Porter Bassett]

I am trying to use Gordon's Installer
(http://starship.python.net/crew/gmcm/) for the first time.  For now, I am
just trying to create a working executable of a "hi, world" program.  I
run the command python ../Simple.py hi.py.  Everything seems to work, and
I get no error messages, but the executable hi.exe doesn't seem to do
anything.  The executable Install_hi.exe gives me the error:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'zlib.pyd'

I am running on Win98SE with a fresh install of Python 1.52.  I am running
the commands from the cygwin bash shell.  I included my windows and
windows/system directories to the path, and it got rid of the problems of
it not finding the .dlls.  

I will include at the end of this email the output of the 
python ../Simple.py hi.py command, as well as the hi.cfg file that is
created.

Is installer the best tool for what I am trying to do?  I just want to be
able to distribute around the office some simple tools I have
written.  None of them use tkInter, but they do use a curses .dll that I
found somewhere.  This is my first try at anything like freeze or install.
