[Baypiggies] p2exe combined with building C extension for python on WinXP with Visual C++ 2005

[David Berthelot]

Hi,

I wrote an application in python and C that I am trying to port to Windows XP (and that's where my nightmare begins). I couldn't find Visual C++ 2003 as recommended in the documentation since Microsoft removed it from download (generously offering 2005 express or 2008 express instead). 

Now I have installed 2005 and I managed to build my extension module, so far so good, it loads in python and works.

The next step was to make this application and standalone program, so I naturally turned to py2exe. Basically it creates an archive (for which I must embed manually msvcm80.dll and msvcr80.dll). The executable works on my local computer.

The problem is that when I copy this archive to another windows XP computer, it starts fine but the binary module compiled with express 2005 crashes when invoked (all other modules included binaries of wxpython which I supposed were compiled on express 2003 are running fine). How could I solve this problem ?

Thanks,

David
