The python executable should be the name of the python interpreter .exe 
and not the .exe for your application.  You application should be 
launched from the command line.  You'll also probably want to have the 
python interpreter .exe installed on the machine because Wing uses it to 
determine where the standard library files are located among other things.

When you launch from the command line, WINGDB_ACTIVE should not be set. 
  Is something failing when the code checks for the value?
