Problem with py2exe

HI!
I've a problem with py2exe: well, first of all I say that I use python
2.4.1 , py2exe 0.6.3 and distutils 1.0.2 on winxp.
To use py2exe I wrote a file setup.py like this:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(
version = "0.1",
description = "Py2Exe Script",
name = "App.exe",
windows = ["C:\app\\app.py "],
)

file that is launched in this way:
D:\programs\pyt hon24\python.ex e setup.py py2exe

The command starts and at the beginning seems that all goes on with no
problem, but at a certain point there's an error:

copying D:\programs\pyt hon24\MSVCR71.d ll -> D:\Applicazione \dist
error: could not delete 'C:\app\dist\MS VCR71.dll': Permission denied

However folders build and dist are created: in particular into the
folder dist i have the w9xpopen.exe file, some *.pyd files and some
dll's... among dll's I have the MSVCR71.dll too.
I don't understand what's the problem so I ask you a help!!!
See ya, bye!

Hello DDany,

copying D:\programs\pyt hon24\MSVCR71.d ll -> D:\Applicazione \dist
error: could not delete 'C:\app\dist\MS VCR71.dll': Permission denied

However folders build and dist are created: in particular into the
folder dist i have the w9xpopen.exe file, some *.pyd files and some
dll's... among dll's I have the MSVCR71.dll too.

My guess in the MSVCR71.dll is a read-only file in system32 and when py2exe
tries to copy it the 2'nd time it fails.

Either change MSVCR71.dll to read-write in system32 or delete "dist" before
calling to py2exe.

One final note:
You subject line could have been better, see

Bye.

Hi Miki,
I solved this first problem, thank you!
I was convinced to done things you suggested me, but... it wasn't!!!
I changed the access type of MSVCR71.dll and all went ok!
Thank you once again for your interest, bye!
P.S
Thank you for your final note too, next time I'll make a better
subject!

Hi all, I can't get a py2exe compiled app to run with numarray (numarray-0.5.win32- py2.2). Also wxPythonWIN32-2.3.3.1-Py22 and ActivePython-2.2.1-222. In the sample below, commenting out "import numarray" allows the exe to run. Left in, I get "4.exe has generated errors" etc. I'm going around and around and there isn't much on Google. py2exe output is last.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
