If you know well enough what you are doing, and avoid using unsupported cases, you *can* mix different CRTs. > Building using the current projects I > seem to get everything in the PCBuild8 / PCBuild dirs.

Not sure what you mean by "tree". Distribution is in a single MSI file, not in a tree, and the tree that gets created on the target machine (of the MSI file) never exists on the source machine. > If not, is > there a simple way to build an MSI similar to the one found on the > Python.org site for the official releases but using the PCBuild8 stuff? No, but it should be possible to adopt Tools/msi to package pcbuild8 instead. Just make sure you are using different GUIDs as the ProductCode.
