[pygtk] DLL load errors with Py2.6, PyGTK 2.22 and GTK 2.22 bundle

[Paul Goins]

Okay, I got some time to follow through on all of your feedback.


First: turns out I already had MSVCR90.DLL.  If I ran Dependency
Walker directly on the Python executable, the DLL was found and
resolved to:

     C:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a\MSVCR90.DLL


However, running it on _gtk.pyd, I get:

     C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\MSVCR90.DLL was not found.


I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the Visual C++
redistributable files.  (x86 versions, of course.)  No luck.

I also tried removing all Python installations (via Add/Remove
programs plus removing the leftover c:\python26).  I then installed
Python 2.7.1 (x86) plus the 2.7 versions of the PyGTK packages.  Still
no luck: python.exe finds the DLL, while _gtk.pyd cannot.

I tried copying the DLL into my program's directory, into the python
directory, into various subdirectories of site-packages, into
site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk...  Nothing has yet allowed "import gtk" to
work.

I'm at a loss.  Anyone have any other ideas?


Thanks again,
