GetFileAttributesExA and Win95

[John Collins]

Hi all,
Just installed Python 2.5 on my Win95B machine, tried to run
it, but immediately got this error message;
"The PYTHON25.DLL file is
 linked to missing export KERNELL32.DLL :GetFileAttributedExA"
In FAQ, I noted this has been asked before[1], but I cannot find
the solution? Can anyone please help? Perhaps, Martin v. Löwis? 
Thank you all&
Best Regards,
John Collins.

Summary: GetFileAttributesExA and Win95

Initial Comment:
When Python 2.5 is run under Win95 (Windows 
4.00.950B), it immediately fails with "The 
PYTHON25.DLL file is linked to missing export 
KERNEL32.DLL.GetFileAttributesExA".

Python 2.4.3 is fine.

Thanks, this new installer seems to work under Win95.
Vielen Dank,

This should now be fixed in r52339 and r52340. I can't test
it on Win95, though, so I created an inofficial, incomplete
installer on 

http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/python-2.5.13436.msi

Please try it out and report here whether it works.
