    pyhook won't instal due to missing msvcr71.dll reason

    The full message is "PMIDI-1.1.win32-py2.5exe System Error - The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".

    I have downloaded pyhook a couple of times and encountered the above. So I downloaded msvcr71.dll, but which directory should i put it? I have a newish windows 7 and have just downloaded python 2.6.5. but it is still saying msvcr71.dll is missing.

    My prior installation was in windows xp and python 2.5, and I had no problems installing and executing pyhook.

    I have used pyhook for nearly a year now, along with various other things like py2exe and win32all.

    Any suggestions - anyone? thanks!!

      Put file msvcr71.dll in a directory on the system path. On my machine (XP) it's in windows/system32.

          I put the file as you said in the system path, then retried, and it bounced this time for not having 2.5. At this point I stopped bothering with pyHook, becuase I needed 2.6.5 for BeautifulSoup and others. Thanks anyway
