Would you like us to guess what the error is? I love guessing games!

My guess is... "File not found". You need to give the right name for the
file. Am I close?

If my guess was wrong, you need to tell us what the error is.

It says like

*** copy extensions ***
*** copy dlls ***
copying C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\py2exe\run_w.exe -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\dist\build-check-test.exe
Adding python24.dll as resource to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\dist\build-check-test.exe
The following modules appear to be missing
['win32com.shell']

*** binary dependencies ***
Your executable(s) also depend on these dlls which are not included,
you may or may not need to distribute them.

Make sure you have the license if you distribute any of them, and
make sure you don't distribute files belonging to the operating system.

^^^^^^^^

Python 2.4 was released 8 years ago and shouldn't be used for new
development or learning any longer. The first step I would take is to
upgrade to 2.7, which is the last in the 2.x series.

Further, I would at least consider upgrading to Python 3.x, although
this might require some tweaking of your sourcecode first. Keep in mind
that 2.x is a dead end though!

The following modules appear to be missing
['win32com.shell']

If the warning persists with 2.7 and you are actually getting errors at
runtime, throw the whole message at e.g. google.com and click a few
links. Hint: This is a known problem, you are not the first one!


Good luck!
