See http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial "Providing the Microsoft Visual C runtime DLL"

Workaround is to continue with Python 2.5

[Andrew Ziem (ahziem1)]

This was when I tested upgrading to Python 2.7, and the workaround was to stay on Python 2.5

[ROCKNROLLKID (slinger1410-deactivatedaccount)]

Do you think this will happen again with Python 3?

[Andrew Ziem (ahziem1)]

We'll see. If so, a new bug report can be opened.
