[gdal-dev] Problems packaging with py2exe

[Armin Schmidt]

Thank Luke and Ivan,

Yes, pyinstaller is a good alternative but it didn't work for me either, 
resulting in a near-identical dll-load error to the one from py2exe. And 
it wasn't the gdal???.dll that was the problem; that one was properly 
included both by py2exe and pyinstaller.

The solution was instead to manually include the msvcp100.dll and 
msvcr100.dll that are part of the gdal-111-1600-core.msi and package 
them into the folder in which the compiled exe file is installed. Now it 
works!

Strangely I had tried before to put two dlls with this name into a 
folder that is already in the PATH, and I know that this didn't resolve 
the issue then. I wonder now whether the two files that are part of the 
gdal core installation are slightly different from other files with that 
same name that I found on my machine.

Anyway, it works now. Many thanks again for your comments.
