Paul Molodowitch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: To do a private, SxS install, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997620.aspx I once made a private SxS installation of a MSVC-reliant app (that you could install with non-admin privileges), and if recall correctly, it required disabling the generation / embedding of the manifest file in MSVC++, and then include the MSVC dlls and hand-edited manifest files in the installation. (Or perhaps you could somehow edit the options for the embedded manifest's generation? never tried this myself...). (Or, if you don't like .manifest files littering the install directory, turn off the auto-generation of the manifest, but embed your own hand-edited manifest as a resource. I'm sure this is possible, but figuring out the exact steps to do it may be more headache then it's worth...) I don't remember exactly, but I think in order to make a manifest that worked for non-Admin install, I think all I had to do was remove the 'publicKeyToken' property from the assemblyIdentity... if it's present, I believe it tries to find a registered, "signed" version of the dlls - and registering signed SxS dlls requires admin privileges. What I don't remember is, if 'publicKeyToken' is present, if it just gives up if it doesn't find a signed version, or it simply means that it will use a signed version preferentially to a 'local' copy if both are present... ---------- nosy: +barnabas79 _______________________________________ Python 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
