I wonder whether this may be due to the python installer being link to
one version of the C runtime and python another (python 2.6 is linked
against the MSVCR 9.0).

If you need ipython quickly, I would simply try building the installer
myself from sources - as ipython does not have dependency and is pure
python, it should be straightfoward to do a python setup.py
bdist_wininst,
