Hi Julian, Do you have a test case that can be used? I can take a look and see what is going on.
There are better ways of "fixing" such things if cx_Freeze can't figure it out on its own for some reason. You can use --include-files to force the inclusion of certain files in the distribution, regardless of whether they are normally found. As Thomas already mentioned those DLLs may be referenced by a module dynamically. You can use --includes to force the inclusion of said modules and/or --packages to specify that an entire package should be included. Hope some of this helps anyway!
