Is just a recipe to pack and compress all the files specified
in a single exe (installer) that the only purpose is to extract and 
create
the standard directories with a friendly GUI, so the setup that I put 
can be
easily used for another project, just with a few changes (check the 
docs of Inno setup),
after you "compile" the project in Inno Setup you will set the 
"Setup.exe" with all
the content of the `dist` directory, the isolation of your program is 
provided
from py2exe not from the Inno Setup, Inno setup is just to facilitate 
the distribution
of your software, if that is not what you want, just copy the dist 
directory
and create manually the shortcuts if you will.
