Hi, I'm trying the register a COM server using the install script of a built distribution, created with the bdist_wininst format of distutils. But the script fails with a message that MSVCR90.dll can't be found. Registering the server after the installer is done works fine. I'm using Python 2.7.11 and pywin32-220 on Windows 7.1 64 bit.
>From what I see in Process Monitor, I think that the search for MSVCR90.dll starts in the installer's directory, moves up the directory tree and than uses the system search path. Using Dependeny Walter (depends), I found that ''pythoncom27.dll'' and ''pywintypes27.dll'' can't locate msvcr90.dll, while pythoncomloader27.dll finds it (i.e., one of them). I tried an to import pythoncom first, hoping for some DLL magic, but that fails as well: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 16, in <module> File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py", line 2, in <module> import pywintypes File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 124, in <module> __import_pywin32_system_module__("pywintypes", globals()) File "C:\Program Files\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 98, in __import_pywin32_system_module__ raise ImportError("No system module '%s' (%s)" % (modname, filename)) ImportError: No system module 'pywintypes' (pywintypes27.dll) I'm not a Windows guy, so I'm running out of ideas what to do. Any advice? Thanks in advance, Malte _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
