[Paraview] import PyQt4.QtGui DLL load failed

Tue Oct 12 22:06:46 EDT 2010

That said, I have a feeling your error is most likely Visual Studio runtime
related as I can import that module with no errors on my home Windows 7
machine with no development tools installed.

Upgrading to SP3, installing the runtime redistributable at the system level
(
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en),
or possibly copying the runtime dlls (msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and
msvcr90.dll) located in ParaView/bin, into
ParaView/bin/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4 may get this working for you.
