Hi I'm releasing a .exe made with py2exe myself an got this problem too. 99% of the time the required DLL is already installed by another application and you don't need to care about it. The 1% is about empty or fresh windows install (server most of the time) For them, I provide a link to the M$ vcredist and a warning in my download page asking them to install it them self.
Take a look at my site for the vcredist link : http://www.magikmon.com/mksbackup/download.en.html Regards Alain On Feb 12, 9:06 pm, joy99 <subhakolkata1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Room, > > I am using Windows XP (SP2) and a Python Version "Python 2.6.5 > (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on > win32". > > I was looking to create exe files.
