You might want to try the one with the installer... (pygsear-0.53.1a)
although the way you are doing it should have the same end
result.

load_images_dict tries to load all files in a directory as
images. So it is trying to load
...\pygsear-0.53.1\examples\data\images\arrow\Thumbs.db
as an image.

Did you ever load any of those images in an image editor? That
probably created the Thumbs.db automatically. Try removing
Thumbs.db from that folder.

I notice that that function does check and not try to load
'CVS' and '.xvpics'. You could probably just change the code
there and replace '.xvpics' with 'Thumbs.db' to get it to work.

Probably what I should do is just skip things that are not images.
I don't remember right now why I did it this way...

No. I think this is a file that is not normally there, but  was created
by some tool you are using.

The easiest fix would probably be to start with a freshly unzipped
copy of the download.
