Hi Roland,

You may find this thread on the wxPython mailing list useful:

http://lists.wxwidgets.org/pipermail/wxpython-users/2008-November/081956
.html

More specifically, Thomas Heller's reply in this message:

http://lists.wxwidgets.org/pipermail/wxpython-users/2008-November/082008
.html

...suggests that the files msvcr90.dll and Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
are required on the target machine (possibly alongside your executable).

Unless you are specifically using Python 2.6 features in your program,
you may find it easier to use Python 2.5 at this point - I think the DLL
redistribution issue is more clear there.

Hope that helps,

Simon
