Hello Florian,

can you provide a minimal example that I can try to reproduce? Does it happen on all the XP machines or just some?

It happens on every single XP machine (some SP2, some SP3) that happens to have vcredist uninstalled or not installed in first place. It's enough to install vcredist and then uninstall it to cause the problem - at least that's the way it worked on several XP machines that I have here.

This problem is masked I think by the frequent silent installation of vcredist by a lot of apps.

Regards,
mk


Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm getting that nasty problem that on computers where (latest) vcredist
is not installed, I get error:

Error loading Python DLL: python26.dll (error code 14003)

Now I *HAVE* used python26 branch (branches_py26win-r812.zip),
downloaded from http://www.pyinstaller.org/wiki/Python26Win.

The folder Microsoft.VC90.CRT is created all right, with manifest file
alongside dlls inside. But it doesn't help.

What's different this time is an error number: it used to be 14001 when
packed with main trunk version of pyinstaller, and now it's a different
error.

When I install vcredist_x86.exe, it starts working all right. I have no
idea what it's doing, but after that my app packed with pyinstaller
starts to work. When I uninstall vcredist, it stops working with above
message.

Note: this is windows XP (SP 3 and others) where this problem happens.

I really would like to avoid having to start vcredist in silent
installation mode in my installer.

I have quite a number of computers with this problem here and I'm
willing to test changes in pyinstaller to deal with this stinking winsxs
issue if such were forthcoming.
