In the 2.7 msvcrt module, msvcr100 is currently used as the p/invoke target (which is the VS2010 version of the MS Visual C Runtime). Was this chosen on purpose? I fear that it msvcrt100 probably isn't present on most systems (without installing the redistributable), while plain ol' msvcrt probably is.
The problem is that, officially speaking, msvcrt.dll is part of the OS and not to be used by third-party software. In reality, I don't think it's an issue, as it's unlikely that basic C functions are going to change any time soon. So, do we toe the party line and put up with the redistribution hassle, or do we make the distribution easier but risk possible (but unlikely) breakage in the future? - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
