py2exe missing MSVCP90.dll

[pycharles]

Hi

I wrote a python script and then built a wx GUI for it. I was hoping
to turn it into an executable using py2exe.

py2exe delivers this error message:

MSVCP90.dll: No such file or directory.

I am running windows 7 on a new laptop. I installed the Microsoft C++
64 bit redistribution package, hoping that might solve my MSDCP90.dll
woes, but I am still getting the same error.

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

many thanks for any help!

This has gone through the lists recently.

I can't get it right myself. Perhaps someone who can make this work
can just post it to the wiki, please?

I run into this when I installed Py 2.6.5 from scratch on a Windows 7
machine (for all
users).

When doing the build I get an error that msvcp90.dll is not found.

My workaround is to change line 1056 in py2exe/build_exe.py from

if sys.version_info > (2,6):
excludes_use.append("msvcr90.dll")

to:

if sys.version_info > (2,6):
excludes_use.append("msvcr90.dll")
excludes_use.append("msvcp90.dll")

I posted that to the py2exe list and someone mentioned that one can also
workaround this by adding it to the dll_excludes list.

Will update the wiki with this.

With that link I am suitably chastised.

I've even tried the hints on that page myself.

Sorry for the snark.

Hi Werner

Thanks for your reply

I am running python 2.6.2 so, unfortunately, this solution doesn't
solve the problem.

Yes, I didn't have the problem with msvcp90.dll with 2.6.2. Any reason
why you don't upgrade to 2.6.5 - might as will be up to date if you work
with 2.6, no?

But, in the other thread I was talking about that you should try the
sample application on the wiki page - http://wiki.wxpython.org/py2exe.

In a test folder create the setup.py and the simplewx.py shown on the
wiki and try to run it, if it runs then build it and then try the exe it
generated on that machine and if that works move/copy the dist folder to
a test machine which does not have Python installed and try it there.
