Missing .DLL files Anaconda 4.1.1 32-bit

Question

I've installed Anaconda 4.1.1 32-bit on our Windows 2003 Server.

When I try to run a program through the command prompt it gives me the following error message:

..\python.exe is not a valid Win32 application

After searching around for a bit, I downloaded dependency walker to take a look at what is missing and it looks like wer.dll and ieshims.dll have a problem opening.

I can't make heads nor tails of this.

Answer 1

Those .dll files appear to have been removed by IE8. You should be able to restore them by installing Visual C++ 2005 SP1
