Hello Tarek,

*--*install-script_*s*_ is not recognized (see below) -- at least with 
Python 2.6.4 on MS Windows.

INSTALLER BUILDER.py" bdist_wininst 
--install-scripts=GOES-12-SXI-processor-setup-t
eardown.py

usage: D-RAP INSTALLER BUILDER.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 
[cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: D-RAP INSTALLER BUILDER.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: D-RAP INSTALLER BUILDER.py --help-commands
   or: D-RAP INSTALLER BUILDER.py cmd --help
