Just take the default installer, install it, and then check the Python directory: does it have the python DLL? If not, go look into the system32 directory, grab it, drop it in the Python directory. (If you installed for all-users this will happen, Now copy/zip/whatever that Python directory to another machine where it was not installed. It'll work fine. You'll have to explicitly provide the path to the Python.exe of course; you can't just double-click on a .py or run 'python blah.py', but if your shortcuts/whatever all do C:\Where\You\Installed\Python.exe, everything should just work. We do that at work and never run into any trouble. (We actually provide a MSI but only for convenience of customers who want to auto-install via Group Policy). In most situations, Python's good at "finding itself", i.e. where the python.exe is actually located -- and it boostraps the location of everything else based on that. -- Stephen Hansen ...
