pyILPer can't load DLL

your list of installed software (post #1) is the same as mine. The startup message of my python interpreter is:

Code:


Python 3.6.1 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, May 11 2017, 13:25:24) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

My only variation of the standard installation is that I changed the installation path.

On stackoverflow there are recommendations to use the depends.exe utility (please google the link) to check for unresolved dll entries.

You should start the utility in the Anaconda prompt and examine the file: (Anaconda path)\lib\site-packages\PyQt5\QtCore.pyd. Note: the message "... missing ... function ... in delay-load dependent module" indicates that this reference to a dll function is resolved at runtime. Most likely the application provides fall backs if the required function could not be found.
This can not be checked by depends.exe.

Thank you for all your time and help Joachim. I have some positive progress to report. I did a basic Python 3.6 install without the Anaconda wrapper and I think it was able to install pyILPer and when typing in the line "from PyQt5 ..." that was giving me the error as you suggested I try in Anaconda, it seems to execute in the bare Python environment just fine. This leads me even further to the conclusion this is really an Anaconda configuration/installation error.

I'll give that depends.exe a try, too, but I may just stick with what seems to be on a path that will work. I think I managed to "install" pyILPer, but I have not studied Python enough to actually know how to use the environment and use pyILPer, but when I get a little time to study Python, I think I'll be able to run everything there. Anaconda sure makes Python easier, I think, but I'll be happy to just run your excellent application!
