I think it has to do with the way win32all finds and loads the
PyWinTypes extension.  Back in the past it was found via registry
entries, nowadays Mark Hammond changed it to be done without the
registry.

py2exe up to version 0.4.2 has not be adapted to this change, but the
0.5.0 alpha version (available in the files section of
http://sf.net/projects/py2exe) is able to handle this.

It requires Python 2.3 (because it uses the new zipimport feature), and
a fairly new win32all.
