Can't run 2.6 installer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can't run the gmpy 1.03 installer for Windows Python 2.6. It crashes with
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

The installer for 2.5 works fine.

I'm able to install it without any issues on my computer. I'm running XP Pro, 
SP3. I
had multiple versions of Python installed. I also tried removing all versions of
Python and reinstalling Python 2.6 and gmpy. 

Do you get the error message when you launch the gmpy installer?

I tried installing Python 2.6 and gmpy on an old Windows 2000 laptop without 
any 
issues. I wonder if you have a corrupted file. Could you try downloading it 
again? 

Could you also try the Core2 specific version? (It won't run, but should 
install 
just fine.)

The SHA1 hash is correct, a6477c0357befe91332339e8db097bfb043edf95.

The Core2 installer has the same problem.

Both the 2.4 and the 2.5 installers work.

This is getting strange. You may have a different set of DLLs on your machine 
than I 
do on mine. Can you run dependancy walker against the gmpy executable and see 
if it 
generates any errors?

Download and unzip. Start depends.exe. Then File | Open and select the gmpy 
installer.

I almost suspected this from the start: installing .NET made it work.

I'm not sure if this is because the compiler has linked to some .NET modules, 
or if
the existing modules on my computer were just outdated and the .NET installer 
updated
them, or if there is some other reason.

Although it now installs, Dependency Walker does give errors. 

"Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export
function in a delay-load dependent module."

The modules ADVAPI32.DLL, SHLWAPI.DLL, USER32.DLL, MPR.DLL are marked red. I 
don't
know if any other information that it displays is relevant.

Interesting. I'll try to build the next releases on a machine that has never 
had .NET
installed on it.
