Need help creating an exe from python script

Question

I am wanting to create an exe version of my python script so and I am using a friends computer to test.

The script creates a basic text editor which can load, save etc. I am using http://www.py2exe.org/ to create the exe. and I have been using this tutorial: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial

Everything works fine on my computer but when I try to run it on my friends computer I get this error:

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows youre running. Check your computers system information to see wether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."

I have windows 7 64bit and my friend has windows 7 32bit I want it to be compatible with both.

Any help would be apreciated this is my first time trying anything like this.

Thanks Tom

Answer 1

You can either build both an x86 and x64 (32-bit and 64-bit) version, or you can build it only as a 32-bit version.

The 32-bit version will run on both 64-bit and 32-bit Windows systems.
