For those following on the list: I've received the .dwi file written by the x86 version of depends.exe. Had a look at it and it seems your windows installation is having a problem with the glade-3.exe.manifest file included with the Glade component of the PyGTK All-in-one installer. I think that means your system is missing a shared installation of the Microsoft.VC90.CRT version 9.0.21022.8. Here's in detail what I think is happening: - the glade-3 version distributed with the aio installer is built with "Python widgets support". That means there's a C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\runtime\lib\glade3\modules\libgladepython.dll - when this version of glade-3.exe is started, the above libgladepython.dll is loaded - and libgladepython.dll is loading pyton27.dll - python27.dll depends on a specific version of a CRT: msvcr90.dll (version 9.0.21022.8). - but because python27.dll is not being loaded through python(w).exe the copies of msvcr90.dll and Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest that live right next to python(w).exe in C:\Python27 are not used. Because of that, a shared copy is searched and when not found you get the error you are seeing (I think). This also explains why the glade3-bundle from [1], when extracted to for example C:\glade works fine out of the box: there is no Python dependency in that configuration of Glade, thus by definition no need for a glade-3.exe.manifest file and no dependency on msvcr90.dll (in other words, that version depends purely on msvcrt.dll). Could you try installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)" [2], reboot and see what happens? Also, don't be tempted by the link to the SP1 version on that page, you need exactly version 9.0.21022.8 ! mvg, Dieter [1] http://www.optionexplicit.be/projects/gnome-windows/20110405 [2] http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29 ps Uh, this is why it's called DLL Hell... _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
