[omniORB] Problems installing omniORBpy on Windows 7

[John Nevius]

Apologies in advance for what must be a frequently asked question.

Windows 7, Python 2.7, omniORBpy-4.2.0-win64-py27

I've place the entire distribution in c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\omniORB

I've created a PYTHONPATH environment variable:

PYTHONPATH
c:\python27\lib\site-packages\omniORB\lib\python;c:\python27\lib\site-packages\omniORB\lib\x86_win32

I've merged 'sample.reg' into the Windows Registry

import omniORB

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File
"c:\python27\lib\site-packages\omniORB\lib\python\omniORB\__init__.py",
line 46, in <module>
import _omnipy
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
What am I missing?

You probably have a 32 bit version of Python, but you are trying to use
the 64 bit compile of omniORBpy. You need to either use a 64 bit Python,
or get the 32 bit build of omniORBpy.

[John Nevius]

Thanks very much for your reply. I apologize for not starting with a 32
bit version of omniORBpy

That library is now in place and the error is:

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.

My PYTHONPATH environment variable:

c:\python27\lib\site-packages\omniORB\lib\python\;c:\python27\lib\site-packages\omniORB\lib\x86_win32\

I tried explicitly adding a path to _omnipy.pyd in the PATH environment
variable with no success

You need to set PATH to the directory with the omniORB DLLs, which is
the bin\x86_win32 directory in the omniORBpy distribution. Unlike Unix
platforms that have a specific path for shared libraries, Windows gets
DLLs from the same PATH used for executables.
