Hi Erwin and Marco,

For now, it looks like you can install the Visual C++ 2008  
redistributable package (1.7mb):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

If that link doesn't work, look for vcredist_x86.exe on microsoft.com


I've asked on the py2exe mailing list if it's possible to include the  
VS2008 runtime in the .exe. From what I can read online, the move to  
VS2008 in Python 2.6.1 (which we need to use, as it supports files >  
4gb) has created a lot of complications.
