I've noticed a problem with a couple of distutils based
installers (py2exe and pywin32) that I think may be a
problem in all distutils based windows installers.

When you click Next to start the file copy, the Next 
button is not greyed out or disabled.  If you click it 
again, it seems to start another file copy process 
running, because you then get an "Overwrite Existing 
Files?" dialog.  If you click Yes, the install may throw a 
Runtime Error with the message "The process cannot 
access the file because it is being used by another 
process..." and it may lock up.

I'm running Python 2.3.3 and have seen this in py2exe 
0.5.0 and pywin32 build 201.  I have tried a number of 
Windows OSs including 2000 and ME.
