I'm very reluctant to mess with the manifest stuff. I was told personally by Martyn Lovell of Microsoft that it was necessary and he helped me to get it right in our Boost.Python build. I don't really understand the manifest stuff at a deep level, so the fact that you found -D_CRT_NOFORCE_MANIFEST suppresses the problem you're seeing doesn't lead me to the conclusion that it's really a "fix."
Well, I just passed some idea that might work (and might damage something else as well). I will look further into it tomorrow. Maybe some more appropriate way of dealing with this can be devised . Maybe you could ask Martyn to install Python (eg. from activestate) and run regression test to see the problem? B.
