[Python-Dev] Windows installer pre-prelease

[Guido van Rossum]

I've pretty much made my mind up about this one.  Mark's mention of
LoadLibraryEx() solved the last puzzle.  I'm making the changes to the
installer and hope to release alpha 2 with these changes later this
week.

- Default install root is \Python1.6 on the same drive as the default
Program Files

- MSVC*RT.DLL and PYTHON16.DLL go into the system directory; the
MSV*RT.DLL files are only replaced if we bring a newer or same version

- I'm using Tcl/Tk 8.2.3 instead of 8.3.0; the latter often crashes
when closing a window

- The Tcl/Tk and expat DLLs go in the DLLs subdirectory of the install
root

Thanks a lot for your collective memory!!!
