Message 57545 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I'm opposed to this patch. Any change to the MSI build process should only be made when/after the default compiler for Python is changed. That needs to be discussed on python-dev first, and I hope that the new build infrastructure will not use the PCbuild8 directory (but perhaps move rename that directory to PCbuild instead, or just upgrade the project files in PCbuild).

In addition, I hope that VS 2005 will not be the next default compiler for Python, but that VS 2008 will be the new compiler.
