It sounds to me like you aren't distributing the MS C Runtime assembly 
with your application.  Installing ActivePython will have installed that 
assembly globally, allowing it to work without the assembly next to your 
executable.

For more info, see almost every other mail to this mailing list in the 
last 2 months or so :)
