Did you check if this could be the case? > Well, os.getcwd() returns "c:\python26", not my program's directory. > However, I changed the reference to the dll to be > helpers.progdir+'\\nvdaControllerClient32.dll' > and still no luck! Generally, there is os.path.join() IIRC which does this portably. This probably doesn't matter though. What I would check is firstly if this file could be opened at all, e.g. using os.stat(). > helpers.progdir is a var holding the top-level directory of my > project, using os.path. Huh? In what way using os.path? > Again, using this more precise reference still fails, triggering my > except statement in my try/catch loop. Same error? See my initial guess! As a tool for finding out if there are missing dependencies, take a look at http://dependencywalker.com BTW: No need to CC me, I read your initial request here, I can ready any follow-ups here, too. ;) Uli -- Sator Laser GmbH Geschäftsführer: Thorsten Föcking, Amtsgericht Hamburg HR B62 932 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
