Your installer worked well for me on a clean WinXP machine (inside
vmware). I also tested it by manually removed PyGTK and rerunning your
installer. It correctly found the missing component and reinstalled it.
Nice job. I've tried one other all-in-one installer but it is out of
date and puts the components in funny directories, so yours is better.
Of course your installer would have more general purpose use to the
PyGTK community if you created a version without ASCEND. Since you've
provided the source others could create it, but if you had the time I'm
sure plenty of people would appreciate it. No offense meant to ASCEND ;)
