In http://bugs.python.org/issue4120, the author suggests that it might be possible to completely stop using the manifest mechanism, for VS 2008. Given the many problems that this SxS stuff has caused, this sounds like a very desirable route, although I haven't done any actual testing yet.
Can all the Windows experts please comment? Could that work? Does it have any downsides? If it works, I would like to apply it to 3.0, although I probably won't be able to apply it to tomorrow's rc. Would it also be possible to change that in 2.6.1 (even though python26.dll in 2.6.0 already includes a manifest, as do all the pyd files)?
