[issue8929] wininst: msvcr90 dependency in x64 build

[Mark Hammond]

Mark Hammond <mhammond at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

A quick check of my tree shows that the 32 and 64 bit versions are the same in this regard - the raw stubs wininst-9.0.exe and wininst-9.0-amd64.exe do not depend on the CRT.  A test install of 2.6.5-amd64, then using the 64bit versoion of 'depends' against wininst-9.0-amd64.exe also shows no dependency against the msvc* DLLs.

You may be instead striking a slightly different problem whereby the extension(s) installed by bdist_wininst are failing to start due to this dependency and them not finding or being able to use the same DLLs which Python itself depends on?
