All IronPython releases (http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/90087)
have a zip archive available that contains everything the installer does.
If you're embedding, please use the assemblies in the Platforms directory.

Python.CreateEngine() will use whatever version is referenced based on the
usual .NET search paths and assembly resolution rules.

You can also use NuGet if that works in your environment.

One catch is that, because the assemblies are strong-named and the
installer puts them in the GAC, you may get versioning issues on machines
that have a different version installed. 2.7.5 will mitigate this and 3.0
will fix it entirely.
