I followed the recommendation in your link and got the following result:<br>

Can you think of anything else to try? Thanks!<br>

</div></blockquote><div>yes. This is a totally different kind of problem. Two likely reasons: </div><div><br></div><div>a) the DLLs from Microsoft Visual C are missing. </div><div>b) the manifest included in your .exe is not working with the visual-C DLLs of Python 2.6</div>
<div><br></div><div>Correct and offical solution for a): get vcredist from Microsoft, and run it.</div><div><br></div><div>Solution I usually use: </div><div><br></div><div>- copy msvcp90.dll, msvcr90.dll and Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest into the directory of your .exe</div>
