[Health] Tryton Client with Windows XP

[Christoph H. Larsen]

Dear Cédric,

Thanks a lot for your answer. Seems I cannot quote your reply, so allow
me to reply you as follows:
You said that the msvcr90.dll should be copied into the tryton
directory. This is already the case with the binary tryton client
download, achieved via the installation procedure.
However, if I use pip to build tryton from its bundle, where do I have
to copy the msvcr90.dll to for tryton to build? My python directory in
Windows is c;\python2.7\...
Thanks a lot!
Chris
