Seems running the redistributable installer (vcredist_x86.exe) from Inno Setup is the only option then.

Thanks for the link. Since I do not own any license of any Microsoft development tool, I am obviously not allowed to redistribute MSVCR71.DLL. I'm not sure what the best solution here is.

I'v installed a clean XP in virtualbox, downloaded and installed the new win32 runtime, common, and forms packages. Tried to run any .gfd, but failed with "MSVCP71.DLL is missing". Using Python > 2.3 in win32 runtime has a problem IIRC. Newer Python versions builds with MS Visual Studio, and needs some .dll redistribution. The story and the solution is described fully here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/54e419bf4cf17375
