[wxPython] msvcrt.dll change

FWIW I've never needed to distribute msvcrt with my wxPython+InnoSetup work.

Are you sure you need it? Have you tried distributing without it?

If you really (*really*) need it, why not just leave it in the same dir as your program?

I wouldn't recommend installing over system files... unless you're feeling very adventurous :wink:

I have a question relating to installation of a wxPython-based program on
Windows platform. I use Inno Setup to create a self extracting setup file.

My question is this: are there any problems with installing my msvcrt.dll
to a local install directory so that the program uses the local msvcrt.dll
rather than the one in C:\Winnt\system32 directory? Currently I overwrite
the system file if it is older than mine.

I don't have a chance to extensively test this on different types of
MSWindows. Does anyone have any reasons why this would cause problems?

FYI Last week we had strange bugs on Win9X due to not installing current msvcrtl.dll
