This will be due to the C runtime library not being installed correctly
on the target machine. Python 2.6 has this problem more than earlier
versions (due to the compiler used to build it) and the best way to
address it isn't really clear yet unless you are willing to have them
install these libraries via another Microsoft supplied installer.
Probably the easiest workaround is to use Python 2.5 in the short term...

I had the same issue. After looking some "patch" solutions of putting
manually some dlls on the dist folder, I realized that you can fix it
by installing one of these packages, see which one fits your system:
x86
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

x64
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

PS: Mark, this could be added to a kind of "Deployment" entry in
py2exe wiki, it would be useful.

IIRC, I've never edited the py2exe wiki (despite appearances to the
contrary sometimes, I don't formally maintain that package!).

But that is the cool thing about Wiki's - *anyone* can add such
information
