I confirm this. The following lines in msi.py seem to be the cause of
the change:

    #dlldir = PyDirectory(db, cab, root, srcdir, "DLLDIR", ".")
    #install python30.dll into root dir for now
    dlldir = root

They were added by r61109: " Bundle msvcr90.dll as a "private assembly". "
but I don't know if simply restoring the previous value will work in every case:
If the C Run-Time is installed "privately", then python26.dll must
stay in c:\python26.
