installation problem on Windows XP

wxPython Users

Hi,

···

Yesterday I tried to port one application I wrote on Linux (running fine there) on Windows XP. (I don't have any experience on that OS, so please forgive me, if my question is not all too ignorant.) I made a fresh download of everything: Python 2.5.1, several other modules,
and of course the latest wxPython (unicode) (all based on Windows installers
or similar, nothing from source).

The installation worked without giving any error message, but when I start my
app, Python complains that it cannot find "wxmsw26uh_vc.dll" and indeed: This
file is not on the whole file system.

Can anybody tell me what's wrong? Any solution out there?

TIA
Christian

Hi Christian,

app, Python complains that it cannot find "wxmsw26uh_vc.dll" and indeed: This
file is not on the whole file system.

Are you using matplotlib in your application? If this is the case,
that's the neverending issue of unicode/ansi wxPython builds on
matplotlib. Try to rename the following file:

site-packages/matplotlib/backends/_wxagg.pyd

to something else (i.e. dontuse.pyd or whatever you like). If you are
not using matplotlib, then I have no idea... do you have multiple
wxPython installations?
