Not that I know of. This seems to be a Frequently Requested Feature
though, so I'll try to do something about it soon.

Hard to tell what's going on there. If you can send me an example I'll
try to find out what's wrong.

I don't know about that one either. Calling the application's quit_cmd()
method directly should work regardless of the condition of the menus.

Yes, you have to do that at the moment, sorry, because py2exe can't
follow the dynamic way that PyGUI locates its platform-dependent
modules. I'm thinking about ways to improve the situation, but it's
not easy.

Not sure what that means. Sounds like there might be a bug in pywin32
or some other dll. It doesn't sound like the sort of thing you should
be able to provoke by a mistake in Python coding. Can you find out
anything about how far it's getting before crashing?
