This looks like the same error that sparked the experimental pydna
discussion. If so there's an unofficial hack
http://www.pasteall.org/20504 to get it working. I'm not on Windows, so
I can't confirm that it's the same, but the error reported by my script
users was identical.

   File "C:\BlenderSVN\primstar\image_buffer_raw_access.py", line 75,  
in _api blend_cdll = ctypes.CDLL("")
   File 
"C:\BLENDE~1\install\win32-vc\2.56\python\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 
340,  in __init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Error 126] module not found

I guess the real reason for the hack was lost by associating it with
pydna, I think it's really to get ctypes working on Windows.
