Error loading Python DLL : python26.dll (error code 14001)

[Victor Lin]

Hi,

I packaged my application under windows. It works fine on my machine,
but I got "Error loading Python DLL : python26.dll (error code 14001)"
error.

I find there is a ticket is about this topic : http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/38

But however, I notice that pyinstaller do copy "msvcr90.dll" for me in
dist folder. But even I am sure that dll file is in same folder of
the .exe file. I still got that error message.

What might be the problem cause the error? How can I fix that?

Thanks.
Victor Lin.

I just try to apply that path
http://www.pyinstaller.org/attachment/ticket/39/pyinstaller-trunk-r701-py26-win-tweaks-20090821.patch

and I reconfigure pyinstaller, clean up everything, and build it
again.
I notice that pyinstaller did't copy MSVCR90.DLL for me. But the
problem is still there

Do you have the "python for windows extensions"
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/) installed? They are needed
for the patch to work.

Yes, I did, but it seems the problem is still there :(

Are there any way to know advanced information I can get about that
error? Only that error message I really don't know what's wrong with
pyinstaller.

[Florian Höch]

Can you please post the output when running Build.py? Also, which
Windows version are you on? I know the patch works under XP, but I
haven't tested under Vista for a while.

[Florian Höch]

Ok, it seems I accidentally broke Vista/Windows 7 support in the last
patch - it was trivial to fix, though. So if you're on Vista, please try
the new patch I just added.

Regards,

Florian Höch

That's strange, I use windows XP to pack my program, the program works
on my host windows XP, but it shows the error in the XP as guest OS in
virtual box.
Hum... I have no idea what's wrong with that.

Hmm, according to Build.py output, pyinstaller seems to pick up the
assembly alright with the patch. Maybe it's an virtualbox issue? Do you
have another install you could try the exe on?
