Re: Building on Win7 x64 for python2.6.4 x64 DLL load failed Error

It does smell like it but I cannot find the source of the smell. I'm
definitely using x64 build tools, the Maya install is x64 and I have
checked that the python is x64 (using "print("%x" % sys.maxsize,
sys.maxsize > 2**32)").

Do you have any experience with Dependancy Walker? A lot of the links
reference it to find the missing dependencies but I have no idea what to do
with the information.
