#292 Installation Error

[wildintellect]

On windows 2000 sp4, after a new install of of
boa 0.6.1 from the binary
wxpython 2.8.4
python 2.5.1

Boa fails to load with the following traceback:
Starting Boa Constructor v0.6.1
importing wxPython
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Boa.py", line 241, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 78, in load_module
File "wx\__init__.pyc", line 45, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 78, in load_module
File "wx\_core.pyc", line 4, in <module>
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 91, in load_module
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading wx\_core_.pyd

Problem is resolved by copying gdiplus.dll to the system32 folder.

This may actually be a wxpython error, but it effects the ability to use boa. This error does not occur with boa 0.5.2 on the same machine.

Can confirm same problem with Win2k SP4.
=> wxpython 2.8.6.1
=> python 2.5.1
=> boa 0.6.1 (Windows binary version)

Same error message. Copying gdiplus.dll to C:\WINNT\system32 didn't resolve the issue in my case.
