bzr 1.12rc1 on python 2.5.2 (win32) - unable to find subvertpy.

Update as of 11th Feb 2009

Just retried using bzr-setup-1.12rc1-2.exe

Different, but still broken.

The 'bzr version' command now pops up a Windows error box headed "bzr.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
The text in the box reads "The procedure entry point __lc_collate_cp_func could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll" Once this is acknowledged the bzr command produces a traceback as follows

To confirm feedback via ML -

1] problem not apparent when installing bzr-setup-1.10-1.exe

2] problem not apparent if present RC (bzr-setup-1.12rc1-2.exe) is installed as base product only, with no plugins or tbzr. (So deduce that problem is related to the packaging of the svn plugin for the Windows installer.)

DJ

Original problem still present with bzr-setup-1.12-1.exe [ie. bzr 1.12 final]

(Windows command 'bzr version' throws a dialog box and generates bzr traceback.)

The work-around suggested in the duplicate report #328181, of moving the svn subdirectory out of the plugins directory is effective, and further confirms this plugin (or its packaging for Win32) as the source of the error being generated.

This brings up a possible source of the conflict.

Do you have "subversion" installed separately on your machine?

IIRC subversion supplies 2 versions of their libraries, one built against different versions of the apache runtime.

As such it would be possible that when trying to import subvertpy, it goes to load the subversion bindings, but is finding your other install, rather than the ones bundled with it. And since they conflict, it fails to load, which then causes bzr-svn to fail to load, and triggers this bug.

Just to be clear, this work-around completely disables svn integration right? I just mention this so no one gets the wrong idea when you say it is "effective". It is "effective" in the sense that it makes the error go away, not in the sense that it actually fixes the problem.

I found if I rebooted the problem actually went away.

Yes.

Hope that helps a little. I've also got GIT.

bzr is what I would prefer for my own projects, but within reason I'll
install anything I have to in order to get the source of other
projects I have an interest in.

That's absolutely my understanding. It's a work-around in the sense
that it allows commands apparently unrelated to svn to run to
completion without error. In no way does it solve the underlying
problem. j.a.m. has suggested to me privately that this might be a
clash with an installation of the 'real' svn client on my machine.

Just to report/confirm that removing \lib\MSVCP60.dll, as suggested in #328181, is also effective for me running WinXP Home with a local svn client installed. 'bzr version' and bzr help commands' now run to completion without error. This is after re-instating the svn plugin directory. Good work Dan, thanks!
