Problems with PyQt4/Designer

First I would like to congratulate you for the work of integrating Python
Libraries for the scientific community! It is a great idea which will
develop for sure the use of Python.
I have however an issue with the Python(x,y) 2.0.5 on Windows XP Basic
concerning the configuration of the Qt designer. There seems to be a
general problem with the location where this program is looking for components:
- The help does not work, the programs look for the
C:\Qt\4.4.1\assistant.exe program whereas Qt was installed in the
python\Lib\site-packages directory
- The program does not find the plugins. Obviously it looks also for the
same c:\Qt\4.4.1 directory, as when I did copy the plugin there (after
creating the directory) the plugins were loaded
- I cannot load custom widget into the designer with the script
Python25\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\examples\designer\plugins\plugins.pyw : no
errors appear but no custom widget are loaded either.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install the 2.0.5 Basic Python(x,y) on Windows XP (no python installed
before). I used custom directory installation: C:\Python25\
2. Open the Qt4/Designer program
3. Try to launch the help / check that no plugins are loaded

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Help is not working/no plugin

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python(x,y) 2.0.5 Basic Edition on windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
