Strange.

Do you mean *you* are logged in as Admin, or does the *service* run under
the Admin account?

Per default a service runs under the system account. Maybe the registry
keys are really not there then? HKEY_CURRENT_USER, probably?

What happens when you run the service as not-py2exe'd service (via
PythonService.exe)?

PS: As far as i can tell, there are no differences between the 2.2 and 2.1
release of py2exe. Not yet ;-)
