so on python 2
<type 'str'>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>

</requestedPrivileges>
</security>

</dependency>
</assembly>
and on python3
b'<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">\r\n <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">\r\n
<security>\r\n

this fails also on master branch not really sure how to proceed (low exp in c and windows programming). As you can see it's not sucking in required info.
if you grep through for msvcr in this file you can see how cxfreeze manage it... https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/src/aebc9c32615c14137c948c521a8d91562559237c/cx_Freeze/freezer.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default
Huh - maybe the MSCVRT stuff is no longer needed at all with python3?
when i install my app it doesn't work on windows without me installing microsoft visual c++ 2010.
Isn't this the issue caused by not having the mcvrt?
I don't have the licenses to redistribute so i have never tried it but i assume...
however i found this on the py2exe pypi page
The C-runtime library for Python 3 does NOT need a windows manifest any longer to load correctly >(this is a feature of Python, not of py2exe)
Somehow this seems contradictory because it seems as though cxfreeze requires it.. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24103105/how-to-link-msvcr100-dll-to-cx-freeze-program
Could this dependency be caused by another library i.e pywin32?
Unfortunately this project is no longer actively maintained, so I'm going to move it into archive mode:

python3 test failing ( due to mscrvt bundling )
this line is returning an empty list on Python3, when on py2 it doesn't https://github.com/cloudmatrix/esky/blob/master/esky/bdist_esky/__init__.py#L604
ryan says:
it's entirely possible that the manifest format has changed in newer releases. You could try just printing out the whole manifest_str and grepping for references to "CRT", might give some clues as to what's changed.
