run py2exe under windows 7, can not excecute file under windows XP

Question

I created a exe-file from my Python+Gtk application using py2exe. With windwos 7 it works, but I can't get it running under windwos XP. I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "debug4iConnect.py", line 1, in <module>
  File "startApp.pyc", line 1, in <module>
  File "gtk\__init__.pyc", line 40, in <module>
  File "gtk\_gtk.pyc", line 12, in <module>
  File "gtk\_gtk.pyc", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: Impossibile trovare la procedura specificata.

I tried to find missing dlls using dependency-walker and recieved this messages:

LoadLibraryA("c:\......\zlib.pyd") returned NULL. Error: Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato (126).

LoadLibraryExA("c:\.....\gtk._gtk.pyd", 0x00000000, LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH) returned NULL. Error: Impossibile trovare la procedura specificata (127).

"Impossibile trovare la procedura specificata" means: Impossible to find specified procedure. 
"Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato" means: Impossible to find the specified module.

This thread seams to be a similar problem, but the solution doesn't work for me: Py2exe - win32api.pyc ImportError DLL load failed

Has someone an idea what I could do?

UPDATE: I tried dependencywalker again and found some missing dlls:

API-MS-WIN-SECURITY-BASE-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SECURITY-LSALOOKUP-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT-L2-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SERVICE-WINSVC-L1-1-0.DLL
CRYPTBASE.DLL
MSJAVA.DLL,

I added them, and now I get this error:

When I execute the application I get the error:

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

When I delete zlib.pyd again I get the ImportError above. I found out that my zlib.pyd is from python2.4 and there is no zlib.pyd for 2.7 anymore, it shoul be included in python27.dll. Is this correct?

I had this problem too. For me the solution was to exclude the MSWSOCK.dll and POWRPROF.dll libraries from the collection:

setup(
    # other options ommited...
    options={
        "py2exe":{
            "dll_excludes": ["POWRPROF.dll", "MSWSOCK.dll"]
        }
    },
)

This also got rid of all the MS_API_*.dll files.

You can use dependency walker to find the missing dll.

May be you need to install the Visual Studio redistribuables on the XP machine.

Hi, the output of dependency walker I postet above, I installed Visual Studio redistributables, without this the application wasn't able to start, i get only a message "could not start application" – stefanr Aug 29 '11 at 10:11
Sorry for dependency walker. Did you look at http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2exeAndPyGTK ? – luc Aug 29 '11 at 10:17
I tried dependency walker again and found some other things, I edited the main post, Yes, I built it under windows7 following the py2exe tutorial on py2exe.org – stefanr Aug 29 '11 at 10:32
