|I have several python apps (some wxPython, some plain text-mode

| setup.

| each app in its own directory under /Program
| Files/<vendor>/<app>.

| the install directory as the current working directory.
| Otherwise they can't find the .dll's they use from the install
| directory.

AFAIK, Windows normally *does* search the directory where the executable 
module for the current process lives in for dlls. What sort of dlls are 
given you trouble?
