Correction: Opening the file in 'wb' (write binary) mode will not work,
because I read the file. It should be:
spec_file = open('C:\\path\\to\\file.spec', 'r+b')
Also note that spec_file.seek(0) followed by spec_file.write() is only
safe because we know for sure the new contents are longer than the old
contents. If the new contents were shorter than the old contents, then
we would end up with junk at the end of the file.
Also note that msvcp110.dll is the Visual C++ 2012 runtime environment,
but it is just for C++ code. C code compiled with the same compiler
requires msvcr110.dll.

Hello David,
Your suspicion is correct, you modify the .spec file. I like to use
Python to modify the .spec file:
spec_file = open('C:\\path\\to\\file.spec', 'wb')
spec_contents = spec_file.read()
new_contents = spec_contents.replace(
'a.binaries',
"""a.binaries + [
('msvcp110.dll',
'C:\\path\\to\\msvcp110.dll',
'BINARY')]""")
spec_file.seek(0)
spec_file.write(new_contents)
spec_file.close()
I put the code above into a file called make.py. make.py is a little
command-line script that automates the build process, just like GNU
Make. make.py calls PyInstaller using subprocess.call().

How do I tell pyinstaller (using a spec file?) that Visual C++ 2012
redistributables should be bundled with my application? In my
Application.exe.manifest, I only see VC90.
Thanks,
