As I recall, we encountered something similar, using a network
installation of Python.  Our approach has been to install under
C: on one machine but then copy the directory to a network
folder shared by everyone, and remove the registry entries from
that machine.  At one point, we had trouble using py2exe on
that machine after upgrading to a new version, and eventually 
tracked it down to python DLLs that had been installed in 
C:\windows\system.  Maybe removing those will help.
