There's a cx-freeze packaged app that I've been distributing for a
couple years with no reported problems until today when a Win 10 user
reports that when he tries to run the app he gets this traceback when
he tries to start the application:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File C:\python35\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\__startup__.py, line 
14, in run
  File C:\python35\lib\site-paciages\cx_Freeze\initscripts\Console.py, line 26, 
in run
  File "myapplication.py", line 3, in <module>
  File "C:\python35\lib/socket.py", line 49 in <module>
  ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
 
The user says there is no Python installation on the machine in
question.

I've googled that "DLL load failed" message, but none of the hits seem
to shed any light on the problem and seem to be resolved by various
seemingly random, related actions.

The app in question is a simple Tk application that opens a TCP
connection to a user-specified IP address and shoves a user-specified
file through that connection using a custom protocol.

Of course when _I_ install the application on a clean Win 10 machine,
it works fine.

Can anybody provide any clues?
