erik flister added the comment: well i can confirm @eryksun's method works, so it's not a problem with how the manifest is included in the dll. to me, the real issue is that ctypes.cdll.msvcrt and find_library('c') aren't correct. the first returns something "old and unsupported," or "officially off-limits" (depending who you ask), and the second doesn't work when running embedded. imho, both of them should use @eryksun's method to activate the dll's context, look in the included manifest, and return the msvcr* found there. why isn't this the correct design? why should every library have to reimplement the method just to allow running embedded, which they can't be responsible for knowing about?
