Hi Elijah,<br><br>With regards to the CRT dependency I would always recommend to use that version which corresponds to the CRT dep. of the application. You might use the Dependency Walker tool to identify which CRT dll the application depends on. For example the official python (<a href="http://python.org">python.org</a>) windows builds (python.exe) use the following dependencies:<br>
<br>Python 2.5 MSVC71 (1310)<br>Pyrton 2.6 MSVC90 (1500)<br>Python 2.7 MSVC90 (1500)<br>Python 3.1 MSVC90 (1500)<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Tamas<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/6/13 Elijah Robison <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elijah@villagis.com">elijah@villagis.com</a>></span><br>

Hi Tamas and GDAL devs,<br>
<br>
I recently used Tamas' Win binaries (<a href="http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/" target="_blank">http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/</a>)
to install Gdal 1.8 for Python 2.7, and everything is working fine---<i>Tamas,
thanks so much for providing those</i>.<br>
<br>
However, I do have a question about selecting the correct release, and
want to confirm if I "got lucky" on my first shot, or if there is
something more I should know were I to pass advice along to others.<br>
<br>
Under "Compiler (Platform)", I chose MSVC2010 (Win32), which
corresponds to <a href="http://PackageList.aspx?file=release-1600-gdal-1-8-0-mapserver-6-0-0.zip" target="_blank">release-1600-gdal-1-8-0-mapserver-6-0-0</a>.
But I am unclear as to what "CRT dependencies" are, as well as the MSVC
acronym and the 1600-value prepended to the package name (as opposed to
1310, 1400, 1500). Would someone mind summarizing these for me?<br>
<br>
The various Win binaries include the same array of MSIs, so matching
the correct Python version is obvious, as well as the 32/64
split----but, would my install have worked if I used a different
MSVC/number combo?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your time,<br><font color="#888888">
