This need not be that much of a hurdle. Several solutions exist such as Inno Setup (my personal preference), NSIS, etc... which are not hard to create a solid installer with. I suspect your end users will appreciate it too since your application (even if trivial) will install/uninstall just like other standard applications. Combining py2exe with such an installer is a solid combination for deployment under Windows. It could also help you over time since you'll have better control if needed over how future versions handle updates, can control menus, shortcuts, etc.. Even if a start menu shortcut just opens up a console window with your text based application, it's probably easier for users then telling them to open such a window manually, switch to the right directory, and start your script. You can arrange to have the redist installer run from within your installation script, so it's a one-time hit rather than each time your application starts. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
