Aug 23, 2011 · When running pyinstaller's Build.py, it pulls in all of the required DLL's the app needs to run. This seemed to work great at first, but when I tried to run the single exe that I built on Windows 7 64bit, it would not run on Windows XP because the USB dongle's DLL was not recognized as a valid DLL.

In order to use PyInstaller with 32-bit python, you need to build the bootloader yourself, using an XCode version that still supports compiling 32-bit. Depending on the compiler/toolchain, you may also need to explicitly pass --target-arch=32bit to the waf command.
a 32-bit or 64-bit OS you run PyInstaller on that OS, under that version of Python. The Python interpreter that executes PyInstaller is part of the bundle, and it is specific to the OS and the word size.
Both py2exe and PyInstaller's executable architecture depends on the Python architecture that it's built on. For example, if you build it on 64 bit Python, it will be a 64 bit executable, and if you build it on the 32 bit version of Python, it will be a 32 bit executable.
PyInstaller requires two Python modules in a Windows system. It requires either the PyWin32 or pypiwin32 Python extension for Windows. If you install PyInstaller using pip, and PyWin32 is not already installed, pypiwin32 is automatically installed. PyInstaller also requires the pefile package.
