inno: remove w9xpopen.exe w9xpopen.exe is a utility program shipped with Python <3.4 (https://bugs.python.org/issue14470 tracked its removal). The program was used by subprocess to wrap invoked processes on Windows 95 and 98 or when command.com was used in order to work around a redirect bug. The workaround is only used on ancient Windows versions - versions that we shouldn't see in 2019. While Python 2.7's subprocess module still references w9xpopen.exe, not shipping it shouldn't matter unless we're running an ancient version of Windows. Python will raise an exception if w9xpopen.exe can't be found. It's highly unlikely anyone is using current Mercurial releases on these ancient Windows versions. So remove w9xpopen.exe from the Inno installer. .. bc:: The 32-bit Windows Inno installers no longer distribute w9xpopen.exe. This should only impact people running Mercurial on Windows 95, 98, or ME. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6068

inno: stop shipping pywin32 Ancient versions of Mercurial relied on pywin32 and I suspect that's why we have this dependency. We also ship the "keyring" package, which has a dependency on "pywin32-ctypes" (providing the "win32ctypes" package). This is a stripped down version of pywin32 that doesn't have as many dependencies. Since we don't have a dependency on pywin32 and since pywin32 is a bit annoying to package, let's get rid of it. With this change, py2exe no longers picks up DLL dependencies on various UCRT DLLs (because we no longer have a .pyd file beloning to pywin32 which was pulling them in). So, we were able to remove code in support of the UCRT DLLs. .. bc:: The Windows Inno installers no longer ship the pywin32 package. This package was being bundled for historical reasons. Mercurial stopped using pywin32 several years ago and the disappearance of this package should not have any meaningful impact. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6067
