I have an install of Python 2.6.2 and am trying to get a copy of PyWin32 (version 213) installed under the site-packages folder. The install process always gives the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 601, in <module> File "<string>", line 311, in install File "<string>", line 149, in LoadSystemModule ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. during the post install scripts. Effectively the same error also occurs if I just ignore the installer's error and attempt to import PyWin32. After digging around, I suspect the problem may be related to the manifest files embedded into the pyd files, however I have not been able to find out what the proper manifest files should be (this is related to issue 4566 for Python). In addition, I have tried to compile from source, and have consistently received the error: error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat despite adding the path to this file to the path, and running it from within the same command prompt. This occurs when I run the command python setup.py -q build as well as, just to test it, replacing the build with install. Various Google searches have turned up nothing related to PyWin32, and little else besides. Searching the files included with the PyWin32 213 source release turns up no instances of this file being used. Any help on getting either of these issues resolved is appreciated. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
