This is on a fresh Vista Ultimate install.  There is no msvcr90.dll
anywhere on the system, if windows file search according to windows file
search (I did check the hidden / system file box).

The first report is from a "for me" install.  After installing for all
users, there's no dll in \python26 and the error log error message of:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Python26\python.exe".
Dependent Assembly
Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8"
could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

I tried using changing the .manifest and got a null pointer access error:
Faulting application python.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x48cb6bcf,
faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp
0x4791adec, exception code 0xc000007b, fault offset 0x00000000000b1188,
process id 0xa28, application start time 0x01c919c8f9746f89.

I wonder if the x86 dll is being installed rather than the amd64 one.
