DLL load failed - wxPython 2.7.x doesn't work on Win98 ???

Hello

With Win98 + Python 2.5 + wxPithon 2.7.1.3 (or 2.7.2),

'import wx' generates this error:

  File
"C:\PYTHON25\lib\site-packages\wx-2.7.1-msw-ansi\wx\__init__.py",
line 44, in <module>
    from wx._core import *
  File
"C:\PYTHON25\lib\site-packages\wx-2.7.1-msw-ansi\wx\_core.py",
line 4, in <module>
    import _core_
ImportError: DLL load failed: One of the library files
needed to run this application cannot be found.

Wich could be that file?
What to do?

Thanks
Endre

i know it's probably not what you want to hear, but maybe you should consider not supporting win98, as lots of applications are going to start breaking win32 compatability in the next year.

Breaking win32? I hope not, as would this not cause a problem on Windows NT, 2000, and XP too?! I guess with Vista we will see that one has to support win32 and whatever the Vista API is called.

And yes, it is probably soon time to drop support for win98 and winME, especially as I think MS has basically already done so.

You can use the DependencyWalker tool (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to see what DLL is missing. Just load _core_.pyd and there should be some indication of what it can't find.

BTW, did you uninstall the old wxPython 2.7 (if any) before installing the new one? Were any wxPython files in use when you did the uninstall (so they couldn't be removed or overwritten by the installers)?
