[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-windows] wingrass and ArcGIS with Python

[Peter Brooks]

I'm using XP BTW.

In my experience Windows often seems to look in windows\system32 for 
DLLs rather than where it should...


------- Forwarded message follows -------

I use ArcMap as well - I initially had a problem running either GRASS
or the QGIS GRASS plugin (sorry, I can't remember which) and ended up
copying the pywintypes25.dll version 2.5.212.0 file into the
windows\system32 folder (after renaming the existing version, which
was 2.5.214.0).

Hope this helps someone...

Cheers
Peter

For those who need to run both ArcGIS and GRASS with Python (common
situation in GIS labs), here is the solution for the reported problem
from our technical  support:

I found there are different builds of winpython 2.5 . The version 
that
works for both is build is 212. I found it here...
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20212/
pywin32-212.win32-py2.5.exe/download
