I just tried the new installer ( http://effbot.org/media/downloads/PIL-1.1.6.win32-py2.6.exe), but the pyd files still contain embedded manifests. The installer says it was built Oct 1, 2009 with Python 2.6.2, so that should be the latest version. I took a closer look at the changes made from that bug report. The change was only made to the PCbuild/pyd.vsprops file, which I don't believe will affect 3rd party extensions. I see that Koen submitted a patch for msvc9compiler.py that will strip the runtime from the manifest, but that doesn't appear to have been committed. So I'm not really sure how 3rd party extension developers can build pyd files without embedded manifests.
