How does it differ from the working ironpython environment?

Hi Brett,

to check your suggestion I added a print statement to the script (after 
clr.AddReference("xiAPI40.NET"):

print sys.path

The result looks ok to me:

['C:\\Users\\mdk\\workspace\\camera\\', 
'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\distribute-
0.6.21-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib
\\plat-win<file:///\\plat-win>', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 
'C:\\Python27\\lib\\si
te-packages', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-inf
o', 'C:\\Users\\mdk\\.eclipse\\org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0_248562372\\plugins\\or
g.python.pydev_2.7.1.2012100913\\pysrc\\pydev_sitecustomize', 'C:\\Windows\\syst
em32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL', 'C:\\Python27\\lib
\\plat-win<file:///\\plat-win>', 
'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info
', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info', 'C:\\Wi
ndows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\']

I also copied the folder to a temp folder and run the script from there without 
adding the new path explicitly to the python path.

The new location is then automatically added to the path, and the console 
output looks the similar.

C:\temp\camera> python.exe .\testcam.py
['C:\\temp\\camera', 
'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\distribute-0.6.21-py2.7.egg',

ptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info', 
'C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\', 
'C:\\Users\\mdk\\workspace\\camera\\']

You might try making and swapping in a simple assembly that opens a command 
prompt so that you can inspect the environment variables. For me, this is 
almost always a system path / current directory issue. Hopefully I'm not 
leading you down a false road.

No, I don't have the source, only the dll.

But thanks for the sugggestion.

I assume you don't have the source to the .dll?

If you do, you can add a line to use debug the error using 
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break():

Subject: [Python.NET] Problem to use a dll: System.ApplicationException: Error 
1: OpenDevice: Invalid handle

I am trying to use a dll to control a camera.
It is possible for me to use the dll with ironpython, but I fail to use it with 
python for .NET (CLR 4.0).
(And I would like to use e.g. numpy as well, so I need python for .NET).

Below follow a short test script, the python / ironpython versions and their 
console output when running the test script.

Any hints are welcome.
Thank you
Daniel
