Hello everyone,
I've been able to successfully build a MSI of pywin32 under Python
2.6.2. But, when trying to use python, e.g. "import win32api", after
installing the MSI I get:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
With the help of a colleague, I discovered the problem is due to
python not finding pywintypes26.dll. This file was installed by the
MSI. It's in:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32
but that location is not being searched when importing.
I can either:
- set PATH=c:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32;%PATH%
- then importing win32api works fine.
or
- move pywintypes26.dll to c:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32
- then importing win32api works fine.
Any suggestions as to the "right" way to fix this, as well as what to
switch up in the setup.py file so the MSI is built in a manner that
will work out of the box?
Thanks!
-Roberto.
