I think I narrowed down a little bit the problem. It's not the common one 
when the msvc_90.dll are not located, though the result is similar.
The problem is when you try to generate at least 2 exe in one setup (with 
2 scripts specified in the "windows" command of the setup).
This works OK with py2exe 0.6.9 for Python 2.5, but fails with Python 2.6 
(and 2.6.1). None of the generated exe can be started.
When I compare the content of library.zip in both versions, this file 
doesn't contain any .pyc for the scripts you want to generate an exe for 
with Python 2.5, but always contains a .pyc for one of the scripts you 
want to generate an .exe for with Python 2.6. Don't know if it's a clue 
for finding a fix.
I have tested many ways to figure this out but I can't find any solution 
for the moment so I'm sticking with Python 2.5.
