    <p>I am trying to freeze Python 3.3 code that uses PySide libs using cx_freeze and all of that on Windows XP (x86, SP2/3).</p> <p>The <code>python setup.py build</code> runs successfully but the executable throws an <code>ImportError</code>:</p> <blockquote> <p>ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling [...]</p> </blockquote> <p>The same builds run perfectly fine on Windows 7 x64 (SP1).</p> <p>The versions I am using are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:55:48) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32</li> <li>cx_Freeze-4.3.1.win32-py3.3</li> <li>PySide-1.1.2.win32-py3.3</li> </ul> <p>Both QT DLL libraries get copied to the build folder (<code>QtCore.dll</code>, <code>QtGui.dll</code>), the library-zip contains both .pyc equivalents in the <code>PySide</code> folder/module.</p> <p>This issue occurs even with the simplest test-code (<strike>and also if the code is run on a "live" Python installation as well</strike>*):</p> <pre><code>from PySide import QtCore, QtGui if __name__ == "__main__": app = QtGui.QApplication("My Application") win = QtGui.QMainWindow() win.show() app.exec_() </code></pre> <p>Using a more up-to-date version of PySide might fix the problem, but since <em>PySide 1.2.0</em> introduces a new issue with <em>cx-freeze</em> (the file load error) I was wondering if anyone managed to freeze a PySide package on Windows XP stock successfully?</p> <p>Otherwise will have to wait until PySide 1.2.1 gets published and keep my hopes for that release.</p> <ul> <li>See my comment: I'm not sure if this really happened during my tests for actually the same reason or for other reasons e.g. the actual module causing the issue in the frozen builds not having installed properly..</li> </ul>

    1. COYou say the issue occurs when the code is run on a live Python installation? So this is not specific to frozen applications?

    2. COYes, that's what I said but that must have happened in the heat of the battle when I was testing across different platforms where the actual installation of the module (that ended up being the culprit) might not have installed properly. I didn't reconstruct the scenario again to prove the opposite but that's my theory. I'll set it in braces to avoid confusion, thanks.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
