However, this file is present in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.91_x-ww_0de56c07. (I believe it's part of the MS Visual Studio C++ 2008 package which I installed.) Welcome to DLL hell... There is one thing I would suggest: Check to see if you've matched the word size (32-bit vs 64-bit) for Python and all the DLLs. You can't (normally) load a 64-bit DLL into a 32-bit process or vice versa. ChrisA
