I suspect you have a zlib.dll in your system32 directory - this is often the
CWD when run as a service.
I really should fix the service implementation to handle this common error.
A quick hack would be something like:
if sys.path[0]=="":
sys.path[0] = os.path.dirname(__file__)
(or something like that :)
