Error loading Python DLL on Windows

See original GitHub issue

I can’t run mitmdump 0.18.1 and 0.18.2, but 0.17 works fine.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Download binaries for windows
Run .\mitmdump.exe --help or .\mitmdump.exe --sysinfo
Output: Error loading Python DLL: C:\Users\shmyg\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI16602\python35.dll (error code 126). There is no folder C:\Users\shmyg\AppData\Local\Temp_MEI16602 at all.

System information

Pretty fresh Windows 10 without antivirus in a virtual machine. No Python is installed.

This looks like a pyinstaller problem or misconfiguration (pyinstaller/pyinstaller#1566).

You can workaround the issue by asking user to install the VC 2015 runtime (x86).
