Ah, this is likely due to the fact that you need to have the Visual Studio 2008 redistributable installed on the target machine. You can find and download these from Microsoft directly. The other option is to go back to Python 2.5 where this wasn't an issue. While you're thinking about it, thank Microsoft personally for the wonderful error message. :-) BTW, if you look in the event log you will see something a little more useful there.
