Thank you Roy.
I will specify this in Readme file.

I would reject this solution.
I know that someone has done this, though.

There are other unzip on your HPC/PPC/PsPC
programs, too.

Pocket unzip is one.

Another one is Xacrett
http://www.geocities.com/s_k_s_k_s_kru/index.html

But this may require lots of free memory.

If your CE is connected via Lan,
HPC user may use your CMD.EXE.
>From Start menu, Run, and type "cmd" and enter.
You will see the CMD.EXE console. 
(You know this alredy, I guess)

There, type "dir \\desktop\"
I mean type in using the computer name of the desktop
machine.
If your MS network Folder sharing is enabled, 
and the Disk is set for sharing, you will see
the Disks of desktop.

So, you can copy from desktop to HPC by
simply using copy command.

> copy \\desktop\diskname\dirname\*.* \HPC-dir
 
You can do similar thing using Explorer.
Type \\computername-for-desktop\diskname\
as the directory address, and you can browse
desktop disks from HPC very easily.

I'm seriously considering about this.
But I'm a newbie myself for developping
software for windows, and I don't know
.inf file format yet.
If someone sen me a .inf example for
pythonCE distro, probably I can just
modify directories and make cab within a minutes.

I will ask about this to Javier, since he knows
very well in these area, among other.

So, in several days, you will see cab file,
if everything goes well.

I'm sure it does.
I run search on Google and other search engine
every time I got in mess.
And sure enough, I find one of these messages. 

I would like to ask you one thing.

When you copied files to flash card,
which software did you use?

I mean, did you do that with Explorer,
or other stuff?
Because that is the real cause.
And you may encounter similar problel
in other occasion.

In other words, if you correct that software
or configration, copying files to flash card
would not be a problem for Python installation.

Anyway, I'll make cab, but keep zip, as well.
Personally, I like zip distro a little better.
