The crash disappears if I change the first parameter in the PyBuildValue call to "LLLLs". No idea why. With this change, I can start the exe without a crash, but sys.versioninfo starts with (IIRC) (2, 0, 5,...). Very strange. What is your compiler version (first line of cl /?)? I have looked into this. In the latest SDK (2003 SP1), Microsoft has changed the include structure; there are no separate amd64 subdirectories anymore. Then, cl.exe was picking up the wrong stdarg.h (the one of VS 2003), which would not work for AMD64. I have corrected that in vsextcomp, but I will need to check a few more things before releasing it.

I've upgraded to vsextcomp0.8.

On XP (32-bit), I can compile python25.dll and python.exe for AMD64 now, after adding bufferoverflowU.lib to the linker options. And the exe even works on XP-64 ;-)

When trying to build on XP64, I get errors like these (if it helps, I can upload the complete buildlogs somewhere):
