Question on SPE and pwintypes.dll

[Gerry]

I'm running SPE 8.3.c under XP, on a new PC.

The files for SPE and Python were copied to the new machine, but
the OS wasn't migrated, so the registry didn't know about either.

I reinstalled Python 2.5.1, and Python seems fine.

I made a shortcut to SPE.pyw. Clicking on the shortcut gives an
error pop-up, application failed to start cannot find pwintypes.dll.
When I click "OK", SPE seems to start normally.

Any idea what's up? Googling for pwintypes.dll didn't give me any
hits.

Probably just need to do a search in the registry of the old PC for
SPE or that dll file and then make the appropriate changes on your new
PC. Or just reinstall SPE.

Thanks -- I'll give that a try.

... but the OS wasn't migrated ...

There's your problem right there. It's hard to run most software these
days without an OS.
