http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23125857/python-os-path-exists-cant-locate-the-file-however-the-file-indeed-exsits gave me an explanation:

That when running 32-bit apps on Win 64 C:\Windows\SysWOW64 is mapped to C:\Windows\system32.

Copying the missing DLL to SysWOW64 made it work.

NOTE: Original report was for 64-bit on 64-bit, so this is not necessarily an explanation of the original issue.
