While ml.exe is intentionally omitted for the express version of Visual C++, the standard versions of Visual Studio are supposed to include ml.exe. The VS 2008 beta 2 version omitted it by mistake. At the moment there is no convenient way to get the latest version. This should be fixed for the final release. (Obviously the older versions still work.) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
