Question

I downloaded and installed this version of wxPython for use with my Python 2.6 installation:

Answer 1

Copy the Microsoft C runtime library v.9 files and manifest. That is, msvcr90.dll and microsoft.vc90.crt.manifest from folder python to the folder wx, tha is, folder which contains failed to start DLLs.

Or install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package.
