msvcr71.dll is a dll required for virtually every application built with MSVC7.1. For example, py2exe distributes it by default when it builds exes. However, it is so common, most systems already have it, installed by some other app.
I'm guessing in this case, you're working with a new Windows box that hasn't had much installed on it yet. I don't have it booted up now, but I don't have much installed on my Windows box, and I have at least a half a dozen copies of it on my system, a few in standard system directories. For completeness, I guess that dll should be included in the egg. In the meantime, search your system for it, I bet you have at least one copy. If not, I'll bet you can get it from MS's web site. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised it isn't distributed with Python in the first place. Someone with a Windows box should do a search and see where they are, and if there is one with Python. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
