In a very early release, it only worked when the exe was in the
current directory. However, for some time the python path has
been constructed from the exe's directory, (unless you're
running from R/O media, in which case things get extracted to
the temp dir and run from there). All pyds and dlls do have to
be in the exe's directory (Standalone and Simple) or in the
attached archive (Freeze - this is the only one that will work
from a CDROM).
The help page has instructions for debugging, or I can usually
figure it out from Builder.log and the (exact) error message.
