Hi again....
ok, Thomas thanks for your fast reply and support, but...
py2exe don't like your ide....

I copied the folder:
win32com\gen_py\565783C6-CB41-11D1-8B02-00600806D9B6x0x1x1
from 2k to my XP machine..
I now got these 2 folders under win32com\gen_py\
py2exe says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\MyProgs\Python\SHtimer\setup.py", line 155, in ?

ok...I can use my solution to modify the the shared.zip
after I have made a dist with py2exe....
