- you need python24.dll (probably in %windir%\system32) - you need some of the *.pyd found in you Pythondir\DLLs. You can use Proces Explorer from www.sysinternals.com to see all the loaded DLLs and .pyd that your running program accesses - you need a large part of the Python library. Best: compile them to .pyc files using Pythondir\Lib\compileall.py, pack them into one .zip file and then add that .zip file to %PYTHONPATH% Hint: Python will search for the Library files through the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PythonCore\<version>. You don't have to set this entry with your installer (and you shouldn't, as it would break an already existing Python installation). But you could rename it on your machine as this allows you to test your installation without having to copy everything to a clean machine.
