Application is not working under raw system.

Question

Hi,

I've an python GUI application, I use pyQt4. I build binary with bbfreeze (before I was using py2exe but it didn't work with email module well).

On system where I build this app, everything works properly, but when I install it on raw windows (without all those vc_redist and set of python libraries) binary does not work.

Where should I start to find a solution, since I have no messages/exceptions/crashes, it simply ends immediately after i run it from command line.

I predict that if I'd install some of tools from "build system" I would run it. Is this the only way? I mean, if I would find the missing lib (if it's a lib problem), would adding this library to bbfreeze script would solve this problem?

cheers P.

Get Dependency Walker, and run depends.exe on your executable. It will examine the full tree of DLL dependencies, and mark with a red error the ones that are missing.

It will likely be a MSCVRTxx.dll.
