SC4 Dat Packer not working

[Elnino]

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong section.

I'm following the tutorial on this page: http://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/48632-tutorial-applying-the-i-ht-bug-fix-correctly/
And it says I need to use the SC4 Dat Packer. However, when I try to use the program, I get an error and the log file says this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "datPacker.py", line 1, in ?
  File "datPackerApp.pyo", line 25, in ?
  File "win32ui.pyo", line 12, in ?
  File "win32ui.pyo", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Is there some way to fix this?

Don't know if it's relevant but I'm using a Windows 10.

DAT Packer, like a lot of the utilities used for SC4 requires your system to have certain .DLL files installed for it to work. Since licences prevent such files from being distributed you'll have to find/install them manually.

As per the readme, you'll need the following files installed:

MSVCP71.DLL
MFC71.DLL
GDIPLUS.DLL

Links are provided in the readme, but may be out of date. Note also that you may need to have these files present in the same directory as you've installed DAT Packer.
