py2exe windows apps path question

[Grant Edwards]

I have several python apps (some wxPython, some plain text-mode
stuff) that I distribute internally for installation on Win32
machines.  They're bundled/installed using py2exe and inno
setup.

I followed what I think is the normal procedure of installing
each app in its own directory under /Program
Files/<vendor>/<app>.

The problem is that the apps only run if they're started with
the install directory as the current working directory.
Otherwise they can't find the .dll's they use from the install
directory.

Is there some way to temporarily add the app's install
directory to the search path for .dll's?
