In sysgetwindowsversion:

return PyBuildValue("HHHHs", ver.dwMajorVersion, ver.dwMinorVersion, ver.dwBuildNumber, ver.dwPlatformId, ver.szCSDVersion); 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 /?)?

'H' isn't exactly right, since these are DWORDs, so they are unsigned longs, not unsigned ints (so 'k' should be right), however, the actually bug apparently is elsewhere - something like memory corruption. Can you find out what the value of szCSDVersion is (e.g. by putting a printf right before that)?
