John Ehresman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I think one of the tested machines is Vista RTM, though it's been updated. I also tried of Vista x32 SP1 and it fails there.
If non-admin installs can't be made to work, I agree that the "for me" option be dropped and the installer changed to invoke UAC. I looked for a solution to this, but so far can't find any -- and this would also mean that .pyd files in site-packages and elsewhere would need .manifest files that contain the path to where msvcr90.dll is located. I think requiring an admin install might cause problems for py2exe though. This is rather important because it means that python is unusable using the default installation options and I suspect that many users won't know how to install for everyone. I'd still like to see the need to depend on a C runtime dll dropped at some point in the future, but I know that it's not an easy thing to do. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4018> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
