I am not sure if this is of any use or help, as the package in question is not the same, however it may be related.
PyTables uses the hdf5dll.dll, and the way that the hdfgroup has built the Windows binary for versions for hdf5dll.dll 1.8.10 causes pyTables to fail to load on Windows XP, while it runs fine on Windows 7 or 8. The error reported is that the hdf5dll.dll can not be found, even though it is in the path. This issue is also seen in WinPython 2.7.5 if the included PyTables 2.4.1 is used, which uses hdf5dll.dll 1.8.10, so it only works if using pyTables on Windows 7 or 8 . On XP the above mentioned error is reported. If the hdf5dll.dll is downgraded to 1.8.8 then everything works on XP as well as Windows 7. So my bet is the the DLL that is trying to be loaded in this current issue likely has been built in a way that also causes it to only work on Win 7 and not XP, just as the latest hdf5dll.dll also only works with ctypes on a windows 7 and not XP. Sorry I can not suggest how to fix the issue, but perhaps this info will help someone else be able to resolve the problem.
