We found an interesting problem. If you build wxWebKit on Windows XP, you cannot use pyInstaller on Windows 7 to create an exe which uses it. The resulting exe will not work on XP, but it will work on Windows 7.
Everything is OK if you run both build and run pyInstaller on Windows XP. More details: The error which appears when you run the exe on an XP system. The message is Dropbox\NSBasic\extensions\pyInstaller\iu.py", line 112, in getmod ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. The dll it is working on is: C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/_MEI13482\wx._webview.pyd Digging deeper into it, we found two manifest files in pyInstaller/ Bincache00: x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_none_bcb86ed6ac711f91 x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_x-ww_d08d0375 The first one is documented as being for Vista and later, the other is for XP. Building wxWebKit and doing pyInstaller on the same version of Windows results in just the correct manifest file being inserted. More testing would be needed to determine whether this is a pyInstaller or wxWebkit problem - we're just happy to have a workaround.
