I'm trying to compile my python script into a single .exe using gui2exe (which uses py2exe to create a .exe). My program is using wxWidgets and everytime I try to compile it I get the following error message:

error MSVCP90.dll: No such file or directory. 

I have already downloaded and installed the VC++ redistributable package, so I should have this .dll shouldn't I?
what you need is to go to microsoft's download site and get visual C++ 2008 redistributed package.  Tell it to do a repair and search for the driver.  Copy the driver to the DLL folder in the python directory
Making a Windows .exe with gui2exe does not work because of missing MSVCP90.dll
