Re: [Py2exe-users] system32 dlls from windows 7 64 bit wont work on windows XP 32 bit?

[hari j. <ha...@gm...>]

Thanks Eric ,

Although py2exe did warn me towards the end of its build output that I my
binary did depend on quite a few dlls.
Once I left out the Dlls from the system32 folder( the Microsoft OS Dlls)
 the application ran just great on windows xp  32 bit.

Thanks again
Hari

a machine on which the winsock dll is missing, I'd try running the
vcredist.exe for the compiler version that was used to build whatever
version of python you are running. You should be able to find these out on
msdn.com.

Server 2003 box, now that I think about it.
