On 64-bit Windows, 32-bit DLLs need to be installed in C:\Windows\SysWOW64, not C:\Windows\System32. Yes, that's not a typo. When a 32-bit application refers to System32, the operating system automatically rewrites the path to SysWOW64. Now, if your Cygwin is a 32-bit app, it could be getting fooled as well. I suggest you start up a command shell and see where the file really lives. If it really lives in system32, you'll need to move it. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
