need help with Boa Constructor

I can run Boa Constructor, but the
'Frame Designer' will not run.
I press the button, and nothing happens.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Any suggestions?
( i am using:
  Boa 0.0.5
  Python 2.0
  wxPython 2.2.5
  Win NT 4.0
)


..as a side note: ( comments about wxPython )

wxPython has some impressive widgets,
and looks really good (on windows, at least)
but doing layout is a horrible chore!
(hence my desire to use Boa..)
..does anyone know an easy way to do
layouts with wxPython, similar to
the Tk layout stuff. ( eg. pack() )
The easiest way to code layouts that i
have found is using layoutf(...), and
even that seems like a pretty ugly function...
Event handling is also a little less Pythonic
in wxPython compared to Tkinter.
The whole thing looks like a direct translation
from C++, with it's associated style.
I guess that's ok, but i wish there were
more Pythonic implementations, (wrappers?)
for this excellent toolkit.

..comments? suggestions? experiences?
