Hi,

I am currently trying to bundle an application that controls scientific equipment. One particular dependency (`pyfits`) causes a crash when trying to launch an `.exe` built in one-dir mode. The crash happens when the `pyfits` module tries to load mscvrt, using `ctypes`, after some checks (ie: it uses `ctypes.utils.find_mscvrt()` and a variable).

I have reproduced this issue using a minimal script. The program crashes with windows error R6034. MSVCR are bundled in the dist, with the version number found in the accompanying manifest file. I've tried swapping arround the `win_no_prefer_redirects` and `win_private_assemblies` flags without any success.

I have tried replacing the manifest files found in `dist\` with the one from `build\` with no success, as suggested here: 

I am running windows 10 64, python 2.7.10 (default, May 23 2015, 09:40:32) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)], pyinstaller 3.2

Any help on the matter is very welcome.

The script:
#!python2
# try loading mscvrt using ctypes.util. For bug tracking.

from ctypes.util import find_msvcrt, find_library
from ctypes import cdll
mscvrt_dll = find_msvcrt()
print("mscvrt_dll is", mscvrt_dll)
print("find_library(mscvrt_dll)", find_library(mscvrt_dll))
mscvrt = cdll.LoadLibrary(mscvrt_dll)

The build output (powershell running a venv):

Hi,

I reproduced this behavior on another machine running windows 7 professional 32bits.

Regards,

Hi,

The issue is fixed in the latest development version. Everything else is working well so far.

Can be considered fixed.
