I just took a look at the ActiveStatre 2.6.5.12 release (zip file
version) and noticed that this file does not include the MSVCR90.DLL run
time file - it includes MFC*.DLL files instead (and a different manifest
file as well).
Can anyone explain why the ActiveState release uses different MS Visual
C runtime files than the official Python Foundation's release of Python?
It doesn't. We use the same MSVC version as the python.org builds.
Note that "MFC*.dll" files (IIRC, it has been a while) are
redistributable DLLs used by the included PyWin32 extensions that have
Python bindings for the Microsoft Foundation Classes GUI APIs.
