[issue4091] python dll not installed in windows system directory

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

The following lines in msi.py seem to be the cause of the change:

   #dlldir = PyDirectory(db, cab, root, srcdir, "DLLDIR", ".")
   #install python30.dll into root dir for now
   dlldir = root

They were added by r61109: Bundle msvcr90.dll as a "private assembly".

I don't know if simply restoring the previous value will work in every 
case: If the C Run-Time is installed "privately", then python26.dll must
stay in c:\python26.

(And I thought that manifests and side-by-side assemblies were supposed 
to solve the "DLL hell")
