wxPython/Py2exe: Trouble running exe file

Question

Good day all,

I developed a desktop app using wxPython GUI and created an .exe file for it using Py2exe. But when I run/launch the .exe file it says “is not a valid win32 application”.

What could have gone wrong with my process?

enter image description here

History:

1) My installation is: Windows 32-bit, Python 2.7.6, wxPython3

2) I have successfully done this process using my old PC

3) Now that am using a new PC with the same installation, it first complained of missing msvcp90.dll file and I downloaded one here (the Manual fix) to fix that.

4) After creating the exe file (with the new PC), it won’t run/launch

Thanks in advance for your help.

It could be some version mismatch of msvcp90. try searching it in your windows directly and manually copy one of those to your build folder. — otterb

@otterb, kindly clarify how I would go about searching it (the missing msvcp90.dll file) in my windows directly? — Umar Yusuf

I just use explorer's search window. If you don't see any, try installing Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package as explained here stackoverflow.com/a/325456/566035 — otterb

Did you create the .exe in the same computer? I encountered this problem once when trying to run a program created in 64 bit Windows and python on a 32 bit PC.

If you need to run it on a 32 bit PC try creating the executable in the same
