Maybe I'm missing something, but I can rename the executables I create using py2exe 0.6.6 to anything I want after they're created. Or are you talking about a Windows installer for the py2exe module itself? Where are you finding this 0.6.8 version anyway? I can't find it on www.py2exe.org Anyway, what Thomas is talking about is that the only way to create a usable installer of py2exe on Windows is to use the same compiler that the Python you are using. As I understand it, Python 2.4 and 2.5 used Visual Studio 2003. I think 2.3 used VS6. I have both, so I can try to compile an installer for any of those versions if you can link me to the source.
