[python-win32] ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

[Liu, Donald (H USA)]

Hi.  I'm new to Python.  Just downloaded
ActivePython-2.5.2.2-win32-x86.msi and installed under "Microsoft
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2".
 
When I click Start => Programs => ActiveState ActivePython2.5 =>
Pythonwin Editor, I got the "PythonWin" window opened with no problem.
However, when I try to open a file (by either typing ctrl+o, or using
the "open file icon", I run into the following error message:
 
PythonWin 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 17:57:18) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.

    ('.dll', 'rb', imp.C_EXTENSION))
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be
found.

Others seem to have ran into this problem before but I couldn't locate a
solution.

Thanks for your help,
Donald
