[Python-au] py2exe mscvr90.dll problem

Andrew

I found Werner's wiki to be very useful. This is the setup.py I ended up 
with and am finding it works well.

Cheers

Mike

# Ok, let's explain why I am doing that.
# Often, data_files, excludes and dll_excludes (but also resources)
# can be very long list of things, and this will clutter too much
# the setup call at the end of this file. So, I put all the big lists
# here and I wrap them using the textwrap module.

# The following will copy the MSVC run time dll's
# (msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll) and
# the Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest which I keep in the
# "Py26MSdlls" folder into the dist folder
#
# depending on wx widgets you use, you might need to add
# gdiplus.dll to the above collection

py26MSdll = glob.glob(baseFolder + '\\Py26MSdlls\\*.*')

# following works from Windows XP +
# if you need to deploy to older MS Win versions then I found that on Win2K
# it will also work if the files are put into the application folder without
# using a sub-folder.
