Application failed to start because python33.dll was not found

Question

I am working on a project using boost python and visual studio 2005. When I debug a simple greeting example, the following error window appears. The application failed to start because python33.dll was not found. Implementing the application can solve this problem.

Can someone please report a bug in Python or in regisrty windows. To fix I reinstalled Python, but the error still exists.

Thanks.

To remove this error, set the environment variable for both Python and Boost Python in the following ways.

1.Click on the project and select "Properties".

2. Inside the configuration properties, select "Debug" and install the environment using Python 3 and Boost Python 1_54 with the following commands

**PATH=%PATH%;c:\python33;C:\boost_1_54_0\stage\lib**
