Clever idea Waldemar, thanks for that, but for the moment, using the dll as a win32 assembly (ie. with a manifest file, as described by others earlier in this thread) seems to work just as well. >> > You'll need to include Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest and msvcr90.dll. So, for the record, I have included these two files in a directory called 'Microsoft.VC90.CRT', which is in the same dir as my executable, and that makes everything work, even on my 'bare bones' windows XP virtual machine. The end result is a small game some friends and I put together for the PyWeek competition a few months ago. If anyone wants to see exactly how the resulting dll and manifest look, you can download the Windows binary under the 'featured downloads' from here: http://code.google.com/p/brokenspell/ I appreciate David Bolen's comment that an installer isn't that hard to put together: Acknowledged, but for the moment I still seem to be getting away without needing one.
