If you ship the 32-bit Python DLLs, and have a 32-bit installer, and install the 32-bit redist, it will work fine on a 64-bit machine as well. If one of the components above is 64-bit, all of them will need to be 64-bit. > If the DLLs aren't installed, then my program can't be launched, and > can't bootstrap itself by installing the required DLL's. > > I guess I really need an installer. Oh well. You can perhaps modify the py2exe launcher to install vc_redist if needed. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
