[PyQt] Error while building commercial version of PyQt 4.8.4 with Visual Studio 2008

[Sateesh Kumar]

Hi,

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and running Python 2.7.
I have installed Qt libraries 4.7.3 for Windows (VS 2008) . I downloaded
the commercial version of PyQt (4.8.4) and SIP (4.12.3).


The sip configuration and installation went fine.

C:\> python
Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul  4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sipconfig

The above code runs without any issues.

As a first step to build PyQt when I try to run cofigure.py I keep
get an error dialog with the below contents:

sip.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------
This application has failed to start because MSVCR90.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
---------------------------

Repairing my Visual Studio 2008 installation didn't fix this error, so I am
not sure where exactly the error is.

If you have faced this error before and were able to resolve this can you
please let me
know how this can be resolved.

Also does using latest development snapshots SIP or PyQt and building them
helps ?

Thanks in advance,
sateesh

Here is the log I get when I run %python configure.py

C:\pyqt_commercial_dir>python configure.py
