OK, I incorrectly described my problem. I have build python 2.4 unsing VC6. I had to because of some inhouse extension modules need VC6 to work correctly (VC6 compile library, VC7 compilations not avaliable). Pyinstaller used the VC7 loader instead of the VC6 one. My solution so far was to rename the *6*.* DLLs and EXEs to *7*.*, overwriting the existing ones. Rebuilding my application led to a working one. Is there a was for python to eximine what VC version was used for compiling, so "Build.py" could choose the correct loader from the VC version actually used for building python instead of guessing by the actual python versuion?
