You need the same architecture and version as used by Python itself. A  
32-bit executable (Python, or your compiled program) requires a 32-bit  
dll, a 64-bit executable requires a 64-bit dll (and this one comes from a  
different redistributable package, vcredist_x64.exe).
You may install the 32-bit dlls on a 64-bit Windows, but only 32-bit  
programs will be able to use it.
