pdeploy issue using -s

I’m trying to make an installer using pdeploy, but whenever I use the -s option, it downloads panda3d first, but as soon as it’s done with that, it throws this error:

  File "VFSImporter", line 153, in load_module
  File "/root/pandaworker/panda3d-1.7.0/built_cmu/direct/p3d/pdeploy.py", line 2
42, in <module>
  File "/root/pandaworker/panda3d-1.7.0/built_cmu/direct/p3d/DeploymentTools.py"
, line 254, in build
  File "/root/pandaworker/panda3d-1.7.0/built_cmu/direct/p3d/DeploymentTools.py"
, line 569, in buildNSIS
  File "/root/pandaworker/panda3d-1.7.0/built_cmu/direct/p3d/DeploymentTools.py"
, line 204, in installPackagesInto
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'downloadDescFile'
Failure on startup.

It successfully creates an installer whenever I do not use -s, but that’s not what I would like. And is it suppose to not create a shortcut in the Start Menu to run the application other than the uninstall shortcut?
