In other words, the .exe you're having problems with doesn't seem like it could've been produced by an unmodified distutils bdist_wininst command, as I've checked the SVN logs for that module and it's been 5 years since bdist_wininst had the 'bitmaplen' value added.
Well, that would make sense since the bdist_wininst command writes the bitmap *before* the config, not after as easy_install assumes. So, easy_install is seeking to the beginning of the bitmap as shown by the data here:
f.seek(prepended-(12+cfglen+bmlen)) f.read(5) 'BM.\x9c\x00'
D'oh! I guess we're looking at having to release an *0.6c4* now. [sigh] Oh well, there was still the SF downloads issue to fix anyway. :(
