Hi, Python is built using 2008. You can find this in the readme.txt under the PCbuild folder (from the 2.7.2 source at least): "This directory is used to build Python for Win32 and x64 platforms, e.g. Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows Server 2008. In order to build 32-bit debug and release executables, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition is required at the very least. In order to build 64-bit debug and release executables, Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition is required at the very least. In order to build all of the above, as well as generate release builds that make use of Profile Guided Optimisation (PG0), Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition is required at the very least. The official Python releases are built with this version of Visual Studio."
Thanks.

MSVCP90.DLL is one of the DLLs caught up in the Microsoft "side-by-side" stupidity. It cannot just be copied into a destination folder, it has to be properly installed with a manifest. Do you have some custom extensions? I didn't think there were any versions of Python that were built with Visual Studio 2008. VS2010 wisely eliminates the side-by-side stuff for the CRT DLLs, so the problem goes away. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
