    <p>I will confess I'm very new to Python and I don't really know what I'm doing yet. Recently I created a very small Windows application using Python 2.6.2 and wxPython 2.8. And it works great; I'm quite pleased with how well it works normally. By normally I mean when I invoke it directly through the Python interpreter, like this:</p> <pre><code>&gt; python myapp.py </code></pre> <p>However, I wanted to go a step further and actually compile this into a standalone executable file. So I followed <a href="http://wiki.wxpython.org/DistributingYourApplication" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these instructions</a> from the wxPython wiki which utilize py2exe. At first it gave me errors in the command line, saying MSVCR90.dll was missing. Then I copied MSVCR90.dll to my Python\DLLs folder. That looked at first like it fixed it, since it successfully did what it needed to do. It did finish with a quick warning that there were some DLL files the program depends on and I may or may not need to distribute them.</p> <p>So I navigated into the dist folder that py2exe had created and tried running my executable. But trying to open it only popped up an error dialog that said:</p> <pre><code>This application failed to start because MSVCR90.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. </code></pre> <p>So I went ahead and copied MSVCR90.dll again into this dist folder. But that didn't do the trick. Then I copied it into the WINDOWS\system32 directory. That didn't do it either. What do I need to do to get this thing to work?</p>
