New submission from Aaron Staley <usaa...@gmail.com>: On a *nix system, bdist_wininst.get_exe_bytes will always return an open wininst-6.0.exe.
However, Windows python2.7 is compiled against msvc 9.0 and ideally would take an installer based on wininst-9.0.exe. Windows-64bit needs an installer based on wininst-9.0-amd64.exe. The ideal solution would be for bdist_wininst to take an option what "template exe" to be used. While I've monkey-patched things on my own, I'm not providing a patch as I'm not sure how the community wants to handle this (it could be anywhere from the exe name to tables being driven by target_version and some some 64bit option) ---------- assignee: eric.araujo components: Distutils messages: 161313 nosy: Aaron.Staley, eric.araujo, tarek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: No option to run bdist_wininst against newer msvc versions on non-windows systems versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14877> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
