Hello,

Well, shouldn't py2exe include all required libraries? I'm having the same problem here, I'll investigate some more this weekend, but if the problem is some missing libraries there should be a way of including them in the "dist"
Not necessarily. For example, it will not automatically include the QtSvg4 library because (in my installation anyways) this is considered a system library. You can force this by overriding py2exe's "isSystemDll" and creating a list of dll's you want to include automatically in your setup.py script. I use the following code below. When py2exe is checking which dll's should be included, it first asks if they are system dll's; if so, they will not be included (since a system dll should be on the system by default?).

My guess is that it needs to be forced to include msvcp90.dll or something. If it is a dll like the MS VC Runtime DLL then that needs to be included along side your exe (not packaged within it or it's library). I would say in your setup.py script to manually copy it to your dist folder.

Example (originally from http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2008/10/09/packaging-dlls-with-executable-made-by-py2exe/):
---------------------

# Override the function in py2exe to determine if a dll should be included.
dllList = ('yourLibraryName.dll')

origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL
def isSystemDLL(pathname):
       if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in dllList:
               return 0
       return origIsSystemDLL(pathname)
py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL
