McMillan installer R5 can't find Windows

Hello!

I'm trying to get the McMillan installer to work.  I downloaded
the release b4 file installer_5b4.zip and unpacked it 
somewhere.  When I run "python Configure.py", I get:

C:\Downloads\System\Python\installer_5b4\Installer>python Configure.py
I: computing EXE_dependencies
W: Cannot determine your Windows or System directories
W: Please add them to your PATH if .dlls are not found
I: Finding TCL/TK...
I: testing for Zlib...
I: ... Zlib available
I: Testing for ability to set icons, version resources...
I: ... resource update unavailable - No module named win32api
I: Testing for Unicode support...
I: ... Unicode available
I: computing PYZ dependencies...

My %PATH% is:

C:\Downloads\System\Python\installer_5b4\Installer>echo %PATH%
C:\Python22;C:\Inprise\vbroker\bin;C:\PHP\cli;C:\PHP;C:\Programme\Borland\Delphi 7\Bin;C:\Programme\Borland\Delphi7\Projects\Bpl\;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\PROGRAMME\GEMEINSAME DATEIEN\ADAPTEC SHARED\SYSTEM;C:\DMI\WIN32\BIN;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\PROGRAMME\GEMEINSAME DATEIEN\ADAPTEC SHARED\SYSTEM;C:\DMI\WIN32\BIN;C:\GnuWin32\bin;C:\GnuWin32\sbin;C:\GnuWin32\lib;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\lib;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib;Z:.;Y:.;

As you can see, my Windows directory C:\WINDOWS and also my
System directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 are in the %PATH%.  I'm
using Windows XP Pro.

Is there anything I need to do to get the installer to find
my Windows directory?

Next I created a .spec file for the application I'm writing.  
In the .spec file, I added a "icon = 'xbox-icon.ico'"
statement to the exe class to set an icon.  When I then
run "python Build.py my.spec" to build the exe, I get the
following error:

ignoring icon and version resources = platform not capable

So I suppose that the Installer really did not find my 
Windows.  

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar
