Just for your information, Kevin:

I've created a PCbuild9 directory for VS 2008 Beta 2 in the py3k branch.
I've also changed msi.py to work with PCbuild and PCbuild9.

kevinwatters: don't bother fixing msi.py. I'll update it whenever I make
a release; there is little point in updating it in-between.

Christian Heimes added the comment:

PCBuild is still the default compiler for Python but any patches are
appreciated. You could start by writing a new or updating the old
compiler command to support VS 2005. The old distutils.msvccompiler
supports only MSVC 6 and 7 but not 8.

[issue1337] Tools/msi/msi.py does not work with PCBuild8

[Kevin Watters]

New submission from Kevin Watters:

The msi.py script for creating an Windows MSI installer from a Python
source tree has hardcoded values for "PCBuild." The newer MSVC 2005
build directory is "PCBuild8" and has a slightly different structure.

msi.py needs to be changed to be able to work with a 2005-built Python
tree as well.
