I'm trying to move a wxPython application forward to 2.6, but although
the app runs fine in 2.6 when run directly when I build the app into an

I get this popup message
"application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)"
when I try to run the built exe.
The same application seems to build and run fine with python 2.5 py2exe.
I've tried various googled "solutions", but none seem to work. I do
notice that the standard py2exe samples/advanced test_wx.exe also fails
when built in this way.
I'm guessing this may be due to some obscure exe requirement with
manifests or something which varies depending on the base msvc library.
Any help much appreciated.
After much faffing about I managed to make this work, it seems that the
instructions here
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial#Step52
aren't complete; for python 2.6 in addition to changing the runtime dll setup so
that we copy MSVCR90.dll & Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest to a toplevel folder
Microsoft.VC90.CRT, we also need to modify the embedded manifest to include an
additional dependency
ie
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT"
version="9.0.21022.8"
processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"
/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
that seems to make the exe workable again. I did actually see this in a google,
but it was for a different version of the dll so did not work when I first tried it.
