Why does this matter, though? I always use binary installers for python and that works fine. Why would we need to build it from scratch? We (Edlund) use 2.6 since it's built with 2008, so I guess we (TortoiseHg) would do the same, or rather the 7.0 SDK which should be the same. /Sune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
