I don't understand what is happening on your machine, and I am not sure 
why/what the above fixed.

I have a copy of the Boa .exe version on my Vista machine and it works 
without having to install any additional dll's.

- My copy is installed in "C:\Program Files\Boa Constructor"
- only dll in there is: MSVCR71.dll
- can't find mscvp71.dll anywhere on my system
- gdiplus.dll is in the wxPython folders - so Boa.exe should not see 
this and does not need it just to start up (IIRC this is only used by 
some controls)

Just noticed that the above is older then what you are using, so 
download the 0.6.1 bin installer, but I still only have the following:
- Installed this to "C:\Program Files\Boa Constructor061"
- only dll in there is: MSVCR71.dll
- can't find mscvp71.dll anywhere on my system
- gdiplus.dll is in the wxPython folders (i.e. 3 copies for 2.8.7 Ansi, 
2.8.7 Unicode and 2.8.4 Ansi) - so Boa.exe should not see these and does 
not need it just to start up

Can you explain why you prefer using the .exe version of Boa versus the 
source/cvs install?

I would still suggest that you un-install the Boa .exe installation and 
install the source "boa-constructor-0.6.1.src.win32.exe", this is in my 
view better for development as it allows you to switch between different 
versions of wxPython (i.e. Ansi versus Unicode or 2.8.4 versus 2.8.7 etc).
