Well, I would be much happier to build an installer with inno setup instead of Martin's msi code, which I don't understand ;-(.

I would be willing to explain it if you would ask questions :-( What is it that you don't understand about it?

Are there really technical reasons the VC7.1 built Python binaries must be distributed via msi technology or not?

No. However, an MSI package allows distribution through group policy; an Inno Setup binary doesn't. Also, MSI supports Win64, and Inno Setup doesn't. Regards, Martin
