I'm trying to build a exe on a vista system using py2exe. It will deploy to vista and XP systems. If it matters, the application uses pyserial, as well. I have VS Studio 2005 installed on this laptop as well. I've found this so far that seems to be identical to what I'm seeing (for non-python programs): http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread611031.html
When I attempt to run, I get "The procedure entry point _except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library mscvrt.dll." Apparently vista has one more _except_handler#_common function than XP does. I've used py2exe several times before (however not recenty, as it was before Vista came out). I'm using a very basic setup file right now: from distutils.core import setup import py2exe setup(console=['responderbot.py']) Are there any ways to either py2exe work or any other exe builder for my build environment and deployment scenario? I don't really want to dig around in py2exe/pyserial internals to force it to use the dll's that the MS support person said it should be using. Will any automated exe builder work where I am? I've heard IronPython can compile down to an exe....is it a valid alternative? Should my CPython utility be compatible with ipy? I only use the random,time,sys, and serial modules. I really know very little about ipy. --Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
