Zach Hirsch <zhir...@umich.edu> added the comment: Without msvc9compiler_stripruntimes.diff, or a patch like it, it doesn't seem possible to use pywin32 (or other binary extensions) with Python-2.6+ installed "just for me" (i.e., without the VC90 runtime installed globally).
Using the python-2.6.1 MSI installed "just for me" and the pywin32-212 installer, I get the following error when trying to import win32api: Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec 4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import win32api Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Removing the manifest from all the .pyd files installed by pywin32 allows me to import win32api without issue. ---------- nosy: +zhirsch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4120> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
