You could try using "dependency walker" (http://www.dependencywalker.com) on the exe and all DLLs/pyd files to find the missing things. You would have found the name of the DLL that was missing. There are false positives, though. One one of my machines it normally finds "IESHIMS.DLL" and "WER.DLL" missing, but it seems that they are not actually necessary. > I've so installed "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package > (x86)" and with that the exe runs ok without python installed on the target > machine. > So now I could more precisely look what exact files my exe needs from that > package.. It would be better to make the MS VC++ redistributable package a dependency of your app. e.g. if you use WiX to make an MSI package for your app you can tell it to depend on the VC++ redistributable package. This way Windows Update can install security fixes for the VC++ redist. package if necessary. -- Michael Wood <[email protected]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
