Following up to myself: If this turns out to be a frequent
problem, we could probably go back to an older installer
scheme - in particular, if we don't want to fight Windows
File Protection (which is only transparently supported
in most recent installer versions).

In the sample installer, I put python24.dll into TARGETDIR,
not into System32Folder. I'd like to keep it that way,
as Microsoft discourages deployment into system32. Of course,
if there is a good reason to install python24.dll into
system32, changing the installer generator to do so would
be only a small effort.
