Oh, and, this is probably obvious and well-known, sorry if I'm teaching grandmother to suck eggs here, but if you have rights to distribute this DLL with your application, I understand this means that you own a copy of Visual Studio, and a copy of the DLL and manifest file can be found in the installed Visual Studio 'redist' directory. If you don't have such a DLL in that directory (eg. if you have the express edition) then you don't have legal right to distribution it.

Done. Final para of section 5.2.2 now reads: The installer puts a copy of the DLLs in the directory C:\WINDOWS \WinSxS (XP), inside subdirectories with mangled names. The manifest file is in the 'Manifests' subdirectory, again this will have a mangled filename. You can still discern the text 'Microsoft.VC90.CRT' and '9.0.21022.8' within the mangled file and directory names, to find the files. It is possible to take a copy of these files and remove the filename mangling, to embed them in your application as described in 5.2.1. Where section 5.2.1 begins, as it always has: If you do have the rights to redistribute MSVCR90.dll, there should be a copy of it in your Visual Studio install, under VC\redist \x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT... http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial#Step522 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
missing dll follow-up
Hi again, I said msvcr90.dll, but I meant msvcp90.dll. In either case, I cannot locate the dll to include in my project and I am not sure what else I can do. The vcredist_x86 was, I thought, supposed to give me the dll, but it does not seem to have done so. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehg...@gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I can't imagine that the files are actually different - if anything, it should be just the installer UI, and perhaps some kind of message catalog.
