Weird! I didn't believe this so I subclasses and plugged in
a new install command which wrote some trace stuff to disk.
You're right; it executes at the time of bdist_wininst, not
when installing.
I also downloaded and looked through py2exe, which he has
continued to extend separately. He says it can now install
Windows services, which is VERY relevant to you and us;
and this implies he at least knows how to do post-install
stuff. BTW I think you're going to need a generic way to make
any tap file into a service (which is really just a way
of starting it when the system starts). So, I am
sure it's fixable, but will need upgrades/patches to
distutils.
I've emailed Thomas to ask where this stands and if we
can help..
