Install From Zip File Fails on Win32

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download v0.3 zip file.
2. On windows (w2k) type "python setup.py install"
3. Install fails.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

C:\Ftp\gui2exe\GUI2Exe>python setup.py install
C:\Python25\lib\distutils\dist.py:263: UserWarning: Unknown distribution

error: can't copy 'D:\MyProjects\GUI2Exe\docs\images\icon\exclamation.gif':
doesn't exist or not a regular file

What version of GUI2Exe, Python and wxPython are you using? On what
operating system?

0.3, 2.5.1, 2.8.10

Please provide any additional information below.

It looks like the file path is hard coded and refers to the maintainer's
hard drive not a relative path to the file in the distribution. The GIF
file referred in the traceback does exist in the zip distribution.

Hi,

GUI2Exe is **not** meant to be installed as site-package with this command:

python Setup.py install

Nor to be compiled as executable. GUI2Exe should be used as-is, like a normal 
Python 
file, i.e., double-clicking on the GUI2Exe.py file on Windows or writing:

python GUI2Exe.py

On all platform (not sure about Mac though). See the explanatory note on the 
main 
page.
