That said, I have a feeling your error is most likely Visual Studio runtime related as I can import that module with no errors on my home Windows 7 machine with no development tools installed. <div><br></div><div>Upgrading to SP3, installing the runtime redistributable at the system level (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en</a>), or possibly copying the runtime dlls (msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll) located in ParaView/bin, into ParaView/bin/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4 may get this working for you.<br>

Humm, It was not my intention to package PyQt4 in the Windows installer.<div><br></div><div>Quite frankly, I will mostly likely rerun the package step and make sure that those site-packages are not included.

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I have googled around, but<br>
not found anything that actually fixes the problem.<br>
<br>
I have Windows XP SP2, completely fresh install, I just installed it<br>
in my virtualbox. The only things on the box are virtualbox tools,<br>
paraview 3.8.1 which I just downloaded, and process monitor. When I<br>
bring up the Python Shell and type<br>
<br>
import PyQt4.QtGui<br>
<br>
I get<br>
<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "<console>", line 1, in <module><br>
ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start<br>
because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the<br>
application may fix this problem.<br>
<br>
There is no other python or VTK on the box to confuse things.<br>
<br>
In an attempt to fix the problem I added some things to my PATH and PYTHONPATH.<br>
You can see what I added by these commands I type in the Python Shell:<br>
<br>
>>> import os<br>
>>> print os.environ['PATH']<br>
C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.8.1\bin;C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.8.1\lib\paraview-3.8;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem<br>
>>> print os.environ['PYTHONPATH']<br>
C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.8.1\bin;C:\Program Files\ParaView 3.8.1\lib\paraview-3.8<br>
>>><br>
<br>
In an attempt to debug the problem I installed process monitor and this is its<br>
output with a filter that only allows output for the paraview.exe programme<br>
(there are some failures, but a lot of successes on opening PyQt4\QtGui.pyd)<br>

I can't believe this can be difficult to fix, surely other people have ran into<br>
this?<br>
<br>
Anyway, any help much appreciated!<br>
