New submission from John Ehresman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
After installing the 32 bit .msi or the 64 bit .msi "for me" on a fairly
clean Vista x64 machine, the socket module won't import because of a
side-by-side configuration error. The output below is from the 32 bit
build.

log for

The event log entry for this is:
Activation context generation failed for
"C:\python26\DLLs\_socket.pyd".Error in manifest or policy file
"C:\python26\DLLs\Microsoft.VC90.CRT.MANIFEST" on line 12. The value
"../msvcr90.dll" of attribute "name" in element
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1^file" is invalid.
Changing ../msvcr90.dll to ..\msvcr90.dll does not fix the problem
Importing socket does work when the msi is installed for everyone.
