py2exe error on MSVCR80.dll

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe,sys,os

sys.argv.append('py2exe')

try:
        setup(
   options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}}, 
   console=['my_console_script.py'], 
   zipfile = None,
   )
except Exception, e:
 print e

outputs:

I'm on python 2.6 in Windows 7

So how can I make this MSVCR80.dll error go away, and compile my script?

On other scripts, I can run the same setup.py and not receive this error.

This makes me think that in this script, py2exe needs this MSVCR80.dll

I also tried this code, which I found here: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/OverridingCriteraForIncludingDlls but it also didn't work.

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe,sys,os

origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL
def isSystemDLL(pathname):
        if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in ("msvcp71.dll", "dwmapi.dll"):
                return 0
        return origIsSystemDLL(pathname)
py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL

sys.argv.append('py2exe')

try:
        setup(
            options = {'py2exe': {'bundle_files': 1}}, 
            console=['my_console_script.py'], 
            zipfile = None,
            )
except Exception, e:
    print e

*EDIT I've also run a search on my computer for this file, it is found in these locations:

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_none_10b2f55f9bffb8f8

Append to your call to setup:

{ 'py2exe': { ...,
              'dll_excludes': [ 'msvcr80.dll', 'msvcp80.dll',
                                'msvcr80d.dll', 'msvcp80d.dll',
                                'powrprof.dll', 'mswsock.dll' ] }, ...

If you want to include the visual C runtime DLLs in your application, have a look at Microsoft's distributable runtime downloads. Probably you're using a library or module that is imported in this application, but not the others you speak of. It may be a good idea to check if you can recompile them using Visual Studio 2008, because that's what is used to create the standard Python 2.6 Windows builds.
