[python-win32] Recurring DLL error with py2exe

[Jacob Kruger]

Ok, where should I include that exclude line?

I tried just copying it into the setup.py file a bit higher up, but not sure if needs to be specifically included in some part of it, and I found out if I also tried to tell it not to copy the MSVCRT subfolder it still generates that error so it must have something to do with the actual compilation processing of the external module or something, but, maybe if I just need to tell it to exclude those files from a specific spot in the setup.py file that could sort it out?

Anyway, here's current source of my setup.py file:
#---start of source---
from glob import glob
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll', 'tcl84.dll', 'tk84.dll', 'MSVCP90.dll', 'mswsock.dll', 'powrprof.dll']
data_files = [
("Microsoft.VC90.CRT", glob(r'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\*.*'))
]
#data_files= []
options = {
    "bundle_files": 1,
    "ascii": 1, # to make a smaller executable, don't include the encodings
    "compressed": 1, # compress the library archive
    }

setup(
    # The first three parameters are not required, if at least a
    # 'version' is given, then a versioninfo resource is built from
    # them and added to the executables.
    version = "1.0.0",
    description = "testingWxPython",
    name = "aboutBox",
    options = {'py2exe': options},

    # targets to build
    console = ["AboutBox.py"],
data_files=data_files
    )
#---end of source---

Could it also maybe be something to do with this line?:
    console = ["AboutBox.py"],

Since while setup.py is running in console mode, don't know if the resulting wxPython based .exe runs in a console mode window as such..?

Thanks
