There are two errors.
1) xmltok.dll and xmlparse.dll were missing in that release.
   This would change when I create the installer again.
2) pyexpat is sitting in /python/DLLs, but the drv_pyexpat.py
   does an import "from xml.parsers import pyexpat".

The same import is in drv_sgmlop.py, so does this mean that
I should not use the DLLs directory at all but put it all into
xml.parsers?

Let me know, and I will update my installer.
