[wxPython-users] Re: Platform<=>version conflict or what?

[Phillip Stevens]

Hi Jorma,

I just renamed gdiplus.dll here so it wouldn't be found,  and MY App (also) says:
  File "wx\__init__.pyc", line 45, in <module>
  File "wx\_core.pyc", line 4, in <module>
  File "wx\_core_.pyc", line 12, in <module>
  File "wx\_core_.pyc", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.

So I will be very surprised if it isn't this.

Try moving the .dll directly into the same directory as you are running the exe
from.

If that doesn't work make sure you don't have different versions of
the .dll floating around on the system,  and try different ones in the
directory the exe is being run from.  Or mis-matched versions,  or
something.  You could be in ".dll h*ll"

If it still doesn't run,  go to www.sysinternals.com (now part of Microsoft),
and get some of the cool tools they have there like filemon so you can see what
it is,  that your app is trying to load.  A lot of very useful things there like
Process Explorer,  so stock up.  :P
