On some machines, the application (makehuman, an open source software)
crash, immediately, as soon the user try to double click on the exe. The
problem happen with the version compiled using python 2.6, while the one
compiled with 2.5 work fine.

We have asked to our users to try the installation of  Visual C++ 2005
Redistributable Package, but this hasn't fixed the crash.

Both binary files (compiled using gcc and debug symbols with 2.5 and
with 2.6) are here:

http://www.makehuman.org/tmp/makehuman_test_python25_and_python26.zip

Furthermore:

Installing full python2.6 it work.
Unistalling full python2.6 it don't work.
Installing python26 and deleting C:/python26 folder (without unistall
it), it work again...

thx,

Manuel

You can't do that without a process to debug.

We have fixed the problem installing this:

Anyway, before consider the bug solved, we need to test this solution on
different computers.

Yes. This bug can be closed.
The use of python26.dll require last Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
Redistributable Package.
