Installers generated with x64 version of Python 2.6.5 seems to have msvcr90.dll dependency that may not be present on all platforms.

A quick check of my tree shows that the 32 and 64 bit versions are the same in this regard - the raw stubs wininst-9.0.exe and wininst-9.0-amd64.exe do not depend on the CRT.  A test install of 2.6.5-amd64, then using the 64bit versoion of 'depends' against wininst-9.0-amd64.exe also shows no dependency against the msvc* DLLs.

You may be instead striking a slightly different problem whereby the extension(s) installed by bdist_wininst are failing to start due to this dependency and them not finding or being able to use the same DLLs which Python itself depends on?

ISTM that this report is based on hearsay; nobody is *actually* experiencing any problems. Proposing to close this as "invalid".

I did a mistake and downloaded an older installer, sorry for the trouble this caused.

The actual Python 2.6.5 (x64) has wininst-9.0.exe and wininst-9.0-amd64.exe built statically as expected.
