That's because you're not running it from a command prompt.
Please open a command prompt (Start Menu, select "Run",
type "cmd.exe" and ENTER, then type the following line
to get to the folder with the script:

cd "c:\documents and settings\gateway user\desktop\custdb"

(If that doesn't work, perhaps there is really a space in
front of "desktop" as you show above...)

Once you're there, you should be able to run the script
directly just by typing its name plus the arguments
required: "setup.py py2exe" (without the quotes).  If
you can get that far, you should have the full error
message in a form you can directly cut and paste.  If
it adds nothing over what you show above, however, then
I'm at a loss because I can't see how your script could
possibly have generated that error...

This makes no sense to me, given the error message.  The error
reports that it fails on "line 1", yet line 1 in the above
is the import statement, and doesn't have name = "custdb" on
it as the error reports.
