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? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
