The .exe, library and .pyd files are written to /dist subdirectory
not /built (sic).

You setup file should look something like:

The .exe, library and .pyd files are written to /dist subdirectory
not /built (sic).

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(name="APPI",
      windows=[{"script":"_APPI.py"}],
      # or console= for console app
      version="1.50",
      options={"py2exe": {"compressed": 1,
                          "optimize": 2,
                          "bundle_files":1}},
     )

If that doesn't help, you may want to post to the py2exe
specific newsgroup at gmain.comp.python.py2exe.
