Craig Holmquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I understand the rationale behind #4120, but it seems like it only helps a narrow set of applications, namely "applications that link dynamically with the same version of MSVCR90 as Python and that bundle the MSVCR90 DLL and that can't install the VS2008 redist". In 2.6.1 those apps don't have to install the VS2008 redist, but every other app needs to either bundle the runtime DLLs (as a private assembly) or use the manifest workaround I described above, even if the VS2008 redist is installed on the system.
The 2.6.0 behavior - requiring the VS2008 redist to be installed - is hardly perfect (to put it mildly), but in my opinion it's more obvious and straightforward, and more consistent with the behavior of other Windows software. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4566> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
