Interesting install issue

There is a very large “Download here” text in the Dependencies GitHub page.

https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/releases/download/v1.11.1/Dependencies_x64_Release.zip

Download, unzip, launch DependenciesGui.exe, load _core.pyd.

The exception you are seeing has got nothing to do with AGW or any other Python code.

The try/except clause will not give you any more info as the traceback never contains more than “DLL load failed…”. The code executed after the try/except clause is meaningless as “wx” is not in the namespace as “import wx” has failed.

You are missing some fundamental Windows libraries, maybe the Visual C++ Redistributable is needed?

Oh my GOD you fixed the issue. I used the dependenciesgui.exe and I saw a red mark by MSVC???.DLL. Then I downloaded
VC_redist.x64.exe from MS and restarted and all worked.

I can’t thank you enough. Learn something everyday.

Interesting. It looks like wxPython bundles these DLL’s, at least with Python 3.10 and below. I wonder if it should bundle them for 3.11+ as well. Not entirely sure why they need to be bundled in the first place.
