I have the same problem all the time installing py2exe updates.

In my case I had previously installed Python to my C: drive, then 
moved the entire directory tree to our shared network drive so we 
can all use it.  

The problem is that I then disable (by renaming via regedit) the 
Python registry key, to avoid having anything try to find stuff
locally on my machine.  This prevents py2exe from installing 
and since no option is available to specify the folder for 
installation, my only choice was to rename the old registry
key temporarily, install py2exe, copy the changes to the network
drive, then rename the Python key back to Python.unused.

This likely doesn't help you, but it probably points to a
missing registry key as the source of your troubles.
