[New-bugs-announce] [issue7549] 2.6.4 Win32 linked to debug DLLs?

[John Wells]

New submission from John Wells <johnx.ca at gmail.com>:

I installed 2.6.4 x86 on Win7 x64. My Python app runs fine, but I get
daily errors in the event app log:

SOURCE: SideBySide
EVENT ID: 33
MESSAGE: Activation context generation failed for
"C:\WinUtils\Python26\Lib\distutils\command\wininst-8_d.exe". Dependent
Assembly
Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0"
could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis. 

I'm not a developer, but Google suggests to me that the reference to
"Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT" indicates that some part of Python 2.6.4 was
linked to the debug version of the VC++ 2005 DLLs. Apparently this
shouldn't have been done, since the debug DLLs can't be redistributed.

Or is there some other fix for this?
