Re: Ctypes Error: Why can't it find the DLL.

That was it. Once I added the other DLLs then it was able to find and
make the call.

Thanks for all the help,

Hi,

I can't figure out why ctypes won't load the DLL I need to use. I've
tried everything I can find (and the ctypes website is down at the
moment). Here's what I've seen so far.

I've added the file arapi51.dll to the system32 directory. However
when I tried to access it I see this:

(snip)
WindowsError: [Errno 126] The specified module could not be found

So then I use the find_library function, and it finds it:
(snip)
At that point I try to use the LoadLibrary function, but it still can't
find it:
(snip)
WindowsError: [Errno 126] The specified module could not be found

What am I doing wrong? I've used ctypes before and not had this
problem. Before, I've just added the file to the system32 directory and
not had this problem.

Looks like it could have to do with another dll arapi51.dll depends upon
that would be missing, cf:
