I copy MSVC libraries into the install-dir, but still unable to run. Dependency Walker gave me some error when I check on hg.exe: ============= Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "c:\documents and settings\ruflexp\my documents\tk \tortoisehg-1.1.2\HGTK.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001). ============= Is there any reason to need to use Python 2.6? >> install the redist package from Microsoft. > > This will need admin permission, isn't it?
