Stefan, I thought of this:

Assuming you want to create the exe on the XP machine:

Go to the win2k machine, run your program there, and a folder named
  win32com\gen_py\565783C6-CB41-11D1-8B02-00600806D9B6x0x1x1
should be created.  This contains the makepy generated Python wrappers
for version 1.1 of the wmi typelibs.

Copy this folder to the XP machine, which should now have both the
folders
  win32com\gen_py\565783C6-CB41-11D1-8B02-00600806D9B6x0x1x1
and
  win32com\gen_py\565783C6-CB41-11D1-8B02-00600806D9B6x0x1x2

Now, change your setup script so that wrappers for both typelibs are
included:
      options = {"py2exe": {"typelibs":
                    # typelibs for WMI
                    [('{565783C6-CB41-11D1-8B02-00600806D9B6}', 0, 1, 1),
                     ('{565783C6-CB41-11D1-8B02-00600806D9B6}', 0, 1, 2)],
and build the exe by running the setup script.

Now you should have an exe which should be able to run on both 2k and XP
machines.

Probably you did something having the same effect.
