py2exe and py2.6 with wxPython 2.8 or 2.9

Has anyone an explanation why importing wx would generate this error when py2exe'ing a small script.

creating python loader for extension 'wx._gdi_' (C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_gdi_.pyd -> wx._gdi_.pyd)
creating python loader for extension 'wx._controls_' (C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_controls_.pyd -> wx._controls_.pyd)
creating python loader for extension '_ssl' (C:\Python26\DLLs\_ssl.pyd -> _ssl.pyd)
creating python loader for extension 'bz2' (C:\Python26\DLLs\bz2.pyd -> bz2.pyd)

error: MSVCP90.dll: No such file or directory

The fix is very easy, i.e. put the dll into Python26 folder, however I wonder why Python or wxPython doesn't install this dll in the right place.

I am on Windows 7 and I run into this with both 2.8.10.1 and 2.9pre with Python 2.6.3. I then installed Py 2.6.4 (for this user only) but still see the same problem.

I had the same problem and I resolved that doing the same thing.
Plus, if you nedd to run your exe application on a Windows XP machine
you must install the Visual C++ Runtime 9.0.21022.

I think a better question is since the DLL is found okay at runtime when the application is run directly with Python, why can't py2exe find it?

Maybe it follows the manifest to strictly?

Looking at the manifest included with PY2.6 it shows at the end:

<file name="msvcr90.dll" /> <file name="msvcp90.dll" /> <file name="msvcm90.dll" />
</assembly>

But it only installs "msvcr90.dll"

I'll report it on the py2exe list.
