[Py2exe-users] Building a .exe under Windows 10

[David H. <df...@fo...>]

I have a Python 2.7.6 application that built successfully under 64 bit 
Windows 8.1 and I notice that it contains 8 dlls that came from 
Windows\System32 :

22/08/2013  05:17             2,560 api-ms-win-core-delayload-l1-1-1.dll
22/08/2013  05:17             3,072 api-ms-win-core-errorhandling-l1-1-1.dll
22/08/2013  05:17             3,584 api-ms-win-core-heap-obsolete-l1-1-0.dll
22/08/2013  05:17             3,584 api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll
22/08/2013  05:17             4,608 
api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-2.dll
22/08/2013  05:17             3,072 
api-ms-win-core-string-obsolete-l1-1-0.dll
22/08/2013  05:17             3,584 api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-1.dll
22/08/2013  05:14             3,584 
api-ms-win-security-activedirectoryclient-l1-1-0.dll

I upgraded to 64 bit Windows 10 and, without reinstalling anything in 
Python, these are now reported missing during the build process

I discovered some of them are now in System32\downlevel and, by adding 
that location to the system path and putting some print and try/except 
lines in py2exe\build_exe.py I get

api-ms-win-core-delayload-l1-1-1.dll was not found
C:\WINDOWS\System32\downlevel\api-ms-win-core-errorhandling-l1-1-1.dll
api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll was not found
api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll was not found
C:\WINDOWS\System32\downlevel\api-ms-win-core-processthreads-l1-1-2.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\downlevel\api-ms-win-core-string-obsolete-l1-1-0.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\downlevel\api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-1.dll
api-ms-win-security-activedirectoryclient-l1-1-0.dll was not found

Testing the built application - not very extensively - has not revealed 
any problems but I'm a bit out of my depth here. Does anyone have any 
advice?
