Hi. Thank you Gordon McMillan for a very nice freeze tool for python. (I use it on Windows XP SP2 for creating a single-file self-extracting wxPython based installation script for a non-python application.)
Recently I upgraded to python 2.4, and on my system any .exe file generated by the installer crashes immediately after startup. I use version 6a2 of the installer. The following steps provokes the crash: 1) Make a file hello.py with contents "print 'hello world'" 2) python c:/installer/Configure.py 3) python c:/installer/Makespec.py --onefile hello.py 4) python c:/installer/Build.py hello.spec 5) hello.exe Catching the crash in Visual Studio 2003, gives the following message: Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea in run.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000010. The call stack is quite long, but starts with ntdll.dll!7c918fea() python24.dll!1e062ac4() MSVCR71.dll!_getptd() Line 319 C MSVCR71.dll!isalpha(int c=58) Line 48 + 0x5 C python24.dll!1e06350d() Has anyone else succeded in using McMillans installer on 2.4? Thanks for any help. -Svein -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
