Comment(by hamish):

 I'll try to hunt down another (real) Windows XP machine to install it on
 -- the above failure happened on an otherwise-healthy freshly installed XP
 virtual machine.


 here is someone else having "error 14001" with ctypes, the discussion
 seems rather relevant:
  http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t711804-ctypes-error.html

 there are a lot of hits for it, here's another:
   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2852652/how-to-fix-this-dll-loading-
 python-error


 since this is a relatively fresh install of the OS I suspect it is the
 classic missing MS visual C++ runtime dll as hinted in the above urls. but
 the usual ver7 one or the ver9 which Martin has been fighting with on
 osgeo4w? Since the addition of ctypes do we now need both??


 anyway it seems the bundled ctypes/python is dynamically linking instead
 of statically against the dll, so how do other GPL apps deal with this
 problem (cleanly)?
