<P>As you probably guessed I installed latest Python 2.5.2 on my machine. </P>
<P>Now, do I need to include Python 2.5.2 into my deployment package and install it on the user's PC or I can some how embed it into my application?</P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT color=#434343>>>If the former then you can use System.Process to launch the script with <BR>>>IronPython. You will need to download (rather than install) and launch <BR>>>the script with 'ipy.exe args...'.</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P>Wouldn't this approach be simpler, since I don't have to install python on user's PC? How exactly can I run ipy.exe with the args?<BR></P>
<P>Curt, </P>
<P>The script that I have to use was created in 2004 and probably was not tested with IronPython. The guy who created it left the company and nobody modified the script since.</P>
<P><BR>Thank you very much,</P>
