When the python-2.6.1.msi installer is run using 'msiexec' from the
windows cmd prompt 'msvcr90.dll' is not created in the installation
directory. I have tried different combination of 'msiexec' command line
switches.

When the python-2.6.1.msi installer is run by double-clicking on it
'msvcr90.dll' is created in the installation directory.

For reference, the python-2.5.*.msi installers would create
'msivcr70.dll' when run with 'msiexec'.

I can't reproduce this. If I run the file with msiexec, then select "install just for me", it will copy msvcr90.dll just fine.

Installing for a single user does solve the problem but it is not a good fix.  We have python based software where this has been an issue and a lot of our windows users install python for all users out of habit.  We have to put in the docs to install for a single user, but I'd like to see the issue re-opened.

Katherine: Python 2.6 is no longer maintained. If you are talking about a different Python version, please submit a new bug report. Please state
1. what you did
2. what happened
3. what you expected to happen instead
(personally, I'm not willing to invest time into 2.7, either, but somebody else might if that's the version you care about)

It is indeed 2.7 with the issues; the software we are building on (OpenMDAO) does not support 3.x - I'll go ahead and submit a new issue for 2.7
