[PyKDE] Installation problems with PyQT on Windows (DLL Load Failed)

[feroze_arif at pacific.net.sg]

Hello Phil,

Thank you for your response.

QT is installed on the C drive (c:\QT) and I am running the scripts from the D drive (by clicking on Start->Programs->PyQt 3.5->Examples->aclock.py). The examples are in D:\python22\PyQt\Examples.

Should I install Python, QT and PyQT all on the same drive?

Best Regards
Feroze
