This is a warning, so can be ignored.

This is a bug. That "ux-i686" part of the filename looks wrong.

Yes, it's a bug in bdist_wininst, introduced in revision 62197, Mon
Apr 7 01:53:39 2008 UTC.

If I file a bug and it gets fixed, will you build installers for me? :-)

(Seriously, thanks for trying this and locating the bug. I've raised
it as http://bugs.python.org/issue5731).
