This application has failed to start because [dll not found]

With VC6, I am building a program which expects to call the Python DLL
(http://www.python.org/2.4.1/).

"This application has failed to start because python24_d.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I have linked using the python24_d.lib (which is in the same directory as
python24_d.dll).

Under Setting | Debug | Additional DLL I have selected (using the IDE's
browse option) python24_d.dll as a DLL to be loaded at start up.

Py_Main is referenced in the main.exe I have built. Using dumpbin on
main.exew the only reference to Python I can find is:



python24_d.dll

4A2C94 Import Address Table

4A268C Import Name Table

0 time date stamp

0 Index of first forwarder reference

2D3 Py_Main

How can I find out what is going wrong? Could the DLL be corrupt or
inconsistent with the LIB file (perhaps beacuse it was built from C)?

TIA

Bill
