[Python-Dev] runtime dlls on Windows

[Steve Dower]

Another reason why we don't want to install this DLL with Python :) Per-user install is properly supported in 3.5 for I believe the first time ever.

But yes, installing them properly requires admin privileges. An unfortunately messy situation, one that I'm happy to not have to resolve for Python's incredibly diverse user base.

What if the Python installation isn't being run as admin? Or is that
deprecated too?
