[python-win32] How can I run a win service without python2.0 installation magic?

[Rogelio Flores]

All I want to do is able to run a python windows service using the
win32all build 144 (I have to use python2.0), without using the
python2.0 and win32 installers and their setup to be able to
distribute my app. I can live with manually changing the system PATH
or other environment variables but so far I haven't been successful.

I know my service works but only with installed versions of
python/win32extensions using their installer. If I start with a clean
computer (no python installations) I can register PythonService.exe
but my service fails to start unless I run with the debug flag.

These are the two error messages that the Event Log registers, but
they don't help me at all:

Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	Service Control Manager
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	7000

Any help will be appreciated,
