Unless you have a particular reason to, you're probably better off following
the official build process, which now uses py2exe.  The necessary files are
in the windows/py2exe directory in the distribution (maybe not 1.0a7; I
can't recall, but certainly in cvs).

It's been ages since I have played about with building SpamBayes (or
anything else) with Installer (and Mark did all the releases), but do you
have all the appropriate files in your gen_py directory?  IIRC, the
installer is (unless you've changed it) looking for Outlook/Office 2000
files, and you might have XP ones...

I presume you want to do more than this, but in case you don't, and have
missed this, if you just want to use it, there's no need to go through the
build process at all.  Either run with Python by doing "python addin.py" or
download the prebuilt installer.
