Just to clarify and make sure there are no misunderstandings. - It 
works, since
I created the binary installer within the same device, C:\ in my case, 
where also
Python resided.

I tried to do the same from a separate device (E:\ - a USB-Disk in my case).
- I was able to create the binary installer, but received a MS-Traceback 
when
I tried to install the created executable.

I'll follow up on this one. (Distutil in Python 2.3.4 vs. 2.3.5c1 vs. 
2.4 ...)
