[Paraview] Secrets of the ParaView install process

I tried to create an install package of (tweaked) paraview + plugins on
windows.
All runs fine except that
1) Python dlls (etc) are not included in the distribution
2) QtAssistant won't run - so help is unavailable.
Are there special tricks required to make paraview include the necessary
python dll's (and init scripts?) - I'm using python 2.6. I notice that
the paraview 3.4 release on the kitware website uses python 2.5. Should
I revert to 2.5 to solve the problem. Are things 'hard coded' for 2.5
that don't work for 2.6.
If I use the zip installer, I can manually add python libs to the
distribution, if I uses the NSIS installer I cannot. The ParaView3.4
release uses NSIS - so was some secret process involved in adding these
files?
For QtAssistant, I don't know why it won't run. any clues welcome (path?)
NB. I have not set any
PATH,
PV_PLUGIN_PATH,
PYTHON_XXX_???
Variables. should I setup a batch file which initializes these and then
calls paraview (plugins load fine if they are in the plugins directory)
Many thanks
JB
