  Results in error message: "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  yara-python; python 2.7-win32; Win7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
  yara.pyd exists in lib\site-packages
  Worked with yara-python 1.6 (was upgrading because of a CreateFileMapping memory leak; hoping latest version resolved the issue.

I'm suspecting that the missing module is msvcr100.dll, which yara.pyd depends 
on.  You'll probably need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable 
Package:

That fixed it.  I had the x64 redistributable installed, but installing the x86 
resolved the issue.  Thanks!
