Re: [Py2exe-users] Unable to run single file exe on non-admin account user w/o python

[JReed <js...@gm...>]

Thank you for the reply.  I am not a windows guy so this is new to me. When
i do some searching for MS CRT is come across a few dll & lib files like
msvcrt.lib & msvcrt.dll & msvc71.dll are these the files you speak of?
Doing a search on my admin restricted computer with ActivePython installed i
can not find what CRT ActivePython may have installed so I am unsure which
one to include if any so I can uninstall ActivePython and run my exe.  Do
you know off hand which file it installs?

If i Need one of these files I assume I can include them in the setup.py and
bundle it into the exe?

In regards to the manifest file, I am unfamilar with them so I need to do
some research and report back.

THank you for the help

James
