I've pretty much made my mind up about this one. Mark's mention of LoadLibraryEx() solved the last puzzle. I'm making the changes to the installer and hope to release alpha 2 with these changes later this week. - Default install root is \Python1.6 on the same drive as the default Program Files - MSVC*RT.DLL and PYTHON16.DLL go into the system directory; the MSV*RT.DLL files are only replaced if we bring a newer or same version - I'm using Tcl/Tk 8.2.3 instead of 8.3.0; the latter often crashes when closing a window - The Tcl/Tk and expat DLLs go in the DLLs subdirectory of the install root Thanks a lot for your collective memory!!! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
