New submission from Wesley Spikes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I've searched and did not find any open ticket to make suggestions on, so I'm posting it here.
You currently have posted "The MSI installers for Python 3.0a4 are compiled with the new Visual Studio 2008 Professional version. Therefore Python depends on the -Visual C++ runtime library 9.0. We currently don't package this library properly, which means that non- Administrator installation is currently not supported. Contributions to fix this problem are welcome." Two potential fixes, both of which should be very readily doable. First one is to set the Linking option in MSVC++ to a static link to the CRT. This in-builds the library with Python. (Options /MT and /MTd, for release and debug versions, respectively.) The other potential resolution for Non-Admin installs, which may or may not be more stable, is to include the MSVCRT DLLs into the directory containing the Python installation. If needed, you may have to register these files manually into the HKCU hive. Hope that helps with your described packaging issue with the installer. (Classified under Build and Installation, since it deals with both halves -- feel free to reclassify as appropriate.) ---------- components: Build, Installation messages: 65537 nosy: wesley.spikes severity: normal status: open title: MSVCRT packing in Windows Installer (3.0a4) versions: Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2642> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
