[Numpy-discussion] Is anyone knowledgeable about dll deployment on windows ?

Eloi: take a look at <http://bugs.python.org/issue4120>, which contains 
a discussion on, and a patch for, not embedding manifest files in *.pyd 
when compiling with MSVC.

You could recompile the PYD/DLL files that depend on the VC90.CRT in 
winSXS with the patch applied, or manually remove the manifests from 
those PYD/DLL files using a HEX editor or script. Also make sure that 
all DLLs that your PYD files depend on are in the Windows search PATH.
