I use pyinstaller to create the single execution file. However, if you
have some DLLs which built from VC2005. You may need to include the
VC2005 redistribution files in your execution file. Here are the files
which I get from VC2005's  redistributed package and include in my
execution file.

Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
msvcm80.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll
