Hi Nathaniel,
Now you're getting a taste of my dependency management dilemma.
That's one of the reasons I'm happy with C/C++ - at least its
dependencies can be automatically linked statically, rather than having
to sit there wondering what other convoluted bloatware DLLs you have to
ship with your application.
Yes, coding with Python may well be a lot easier and more structured,
but distributing a user-facing python project under Windows is a pain in
the rectum, and I consider anyone who can successfully do that to be an
engineering genius.
Cheers,
Damien.

Hi Nicol,
Your problem appears to be that the program thinks that you do not have the
file python37.dll installed anywhere on your computer for it to be located.
I packaged this file along with the program so you should have this file in
the same folder as camel.exe. ON Windows at least, python programs tend to
work pretty well on Windows 10 but a Google search indicates to me that some
people sometimes have trouble running programs written in Python and
compiled with PyInstaller when using Windows server or a windows virtual
machine (especially Windows 7 and 8). Could this be your problem?
Another thing to consider is: Do you have any Visual C++ redistributables
installed? You may specifically want to try and fix the problem by
installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 run-time
components:

Looks like this is a known Pyinstaller issue. Potentially I may be able to
fix this by using another package like Py2exe but I don't really want to do
this as Py2exe appears to essentially be a deprecated project.
Kind regards,
Nathaniel

Subject: Re: [blind-gamers] unable to launch the camel game
Looks like a python program not basic and you may not have python
installed on your system. Even after installing python, usually these
packages have dependencies that don't get installed with python that need
pip or python-easy-installer to be run to get them installed. Right now,
python is in molting stage which means the python is coming up into a new
version and loosing its old skin so even within python it will pay to get
the right versions of packages that will be supported into the future.

HI Nataneal
I would like to play your camel game, but I cannot launch the program.
I've extracted all files into a folder.
This is the error message I get:
LoadLibrary: PyInstaller: FormatMessageW failed.
Many thanks for any help
