I'm trying to compile a very simple wxPython script into an executable by using PyInstaller on Windows Vista.
The Python script is nothing but a Hello World in wxPython. I'm trying to get that up and running as a Windows executable before I add any of the features that the program needs to have. But I'm already stuck.
I've jumped through some loops in regards to MSVCR90.DLL, MSVCP90.DLL and MSVCPM90.DLL, which I ended up copying from my Visual Studio installation (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT).
As according to the instructions for PyInstaller, I run:
Command:
Configure.py
Output:
I: computing EXE_dependencies
I: Finding TCL/TK...
I: could not find TCL/TK
I: testing for Zlib...
I: ... Zlib available
I: Testing for ability to set icons, version resources...
I: ... resource update available
I: Testing for Unicode support...
I: ... Unicode available
I: testing for UPX...
I: ...UPX available
I: computing PYZ dependencies...
So far, so good. I continue.
Command:
Makespec.py -F guitest.py
Output:
wrote C:\Code\PromoUSB\guitest.spec
now run Build.py to build the executable
Then there's the final command.
Command:
Build.py guitest.spec
Output:

I get the resulting 'guitest.exe' file, but upon execution, it "simply crashes"... and there is no debug info. It's just one of those standard Windows Vista crashes.
The script itself, guitest.py runs just fine by itself. It only crashes as an executable, and I'm completely lost. I don't even know what to look for, since nothing I've tried has returned any relevant results.
Another file is generated as a result of the compilation process, called 'warnguitest.txt'. Here are its contents.

I don't know what the heck to make of any of that. Again, my searches have been fruitless.
