I'm using GUI2Exe to wrap my 0.6.6 version of py2exe. I use the bundle into a single file option in it and have zipfile=None too. But maybe one of my other switches is different. > > I found sources for 0.6.8 on CVS at:http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15583 > > A Windows installer for the 0.6.8 py2exe module would be ideal, but > somehow I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon since there hasn't > been a new installer since 2006.

I'm at work now, where I only have VS2008 installed so I'll have to wait until I get home this evening to try compiling it.
