I'm on Windows XP SP3, Python 2.7.1. On running

I got the error
ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the

this problem.
I then ran Dependency Walker on cx_Oracle.pyd. Its first complaint was about
msvcr80.dll. However, this file is present in
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.91_x-ww_0de56c07.
(I believe it's part of the MS Visual Studio C++ 2008 package which I
installed.)
I obviously uninstalled and reinstalled the cx_Oracle a couple of times but so
far to no avail.
Does anybody have a clue what to try next?
For a screenshot of Dependency Walker, please see:

It looks like it's a path issue.
You say that msvcr80.dll is in
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.91_x-ww_0de56c07,
but is that folder listed as part of the search path?
Have a look at the Windows' PATH environment variable.
