Did you install the 32-bit version of Python? (I'm guessing you did.) You seem to have the 32-bit versions of both pywin32 and PyVisa there. If so, you need the 32-bit Visual C++ redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe), not 64-bit. The 64-bit operating systems can run either 32-bit programs or 64-bit programs, but a 32-bit program must use all 32-bit DLLs. There is no way to cross between the two. How did you get a "new PC" with XP 64? XP 64 is a weird beast. Microsoft never actually built a 64-bit version of XP. What you have there is the Windows Server 2003 64-bit kernel, but they took a text editor to change the version name to "XP". -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
