import win32ui and import dde failed

[Pako]

I'm trying to do something and I need to import win32ui and dde.
Unfortunately it is not possible.
Please anyone knows why this is and how to fix it?
Thanks, Pako

Hi Pako, similar search tells others also have problem (not only EG developers). Suggestion I found is:

Code: Select all

Did you install PyWin32? If so, which version? Here's a link:

I tried this but it did not help me either, the import fails

Best regards, Walter

Code: Select all

This thread has some interesting discussion. I tried this but it did not help me either

I did some work on this problem and I found the solution.
It turned out that the solution is very simple:
Into the folder where you installed EventGhost, put file Microsoft.VC90.MFC.manifest and files listed therein
(ie, mfc90.dll, mfc90u.dll, mfcm90.dll, mfcm90u.dll).
I found these files in my Python 2.6 installation folder ...\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\.
However, that there were these files, you must first install Mark Hammond's PyWin32 add-on.
It's available from the pywin32 project on SourceForge. I used the setup file pywin32-214.win32-py2.6.exe.
I do not know whether someone in the future will do a new build of EG.
If so, it would be great if the necessary files installed automatically (like Microsoft.VC90.CRT).

I've got win32ui in my fork and had similar issues. When you build from source, py2exe gives a list of dll's that aren't included with the exe and are expected to be locatable on the target machine. I had to modify the build script to include the files necessary for win32ui. I haven't looked at backporting (partially because we have no place to put a new build), but hopefully that helps you.

Thank you for the explanation.
But I still do not plan to create build from source.
Doing it for themselves is largely irrelevant, and for creating an official build I do not have sufficient permissions.
I do not plan to make another fork. I absolutely suits EventGhost concept.
It is a pity that Bitmonster gave up work on the project or at least finish a plan
to separate plugins from the installation file.
