I have been able to install the pypiwin32 on my pc in vs code but am having some issues moving it over to our network. The specific error i am getting is "Warning: ImportError : DLL load failed while importing \_win32sysloader: The specified module could not be found. " ---

> [@richard.bruceTKMW9](#): > > I have to install it on everybody’s Pc This is likely going to be a requirement as it’s a standard practice to block execution of remote code, and while you may be able to get such setups working today for is unlikely to stay as such for long. Packaging the node in question and deploying the relevant libraries it requires is likely going to be a must in the long run. ---
