I want to compile my IronPython WPF based app into a .exe file. I looked up the net for solutions and found this on SO:

Compiling an IronPython WPF project to exe.

I found this modified pyc.py file better than the original as I do not have to pass the names of all the files in the project to pyc at the command line. When I run this, I get a dll and an executable. I also included the other dll files mentioned on the above discussion, like IronPython.dll. There is only one problem. I have the following at the top of my main file code:

import wpf

from System.Windows import MessageBox, Application, Window

The app runs fine on VS2010 but the executable seems not to be able to find any dll named wpf or Window. I have this file called IronPython.Wpf.dll which I included in the folder but that does not seem to work. What dll am I missing here? Or is there any other way I can solve my problem?

You should add

import clr
clr.AddReference('IronPython.Wpf')

And make sure you put IronPython.Wpf.dll, from the IronPython's install directory in the same directory as your main script.

I'm still getting an Exception related with STA Threads, but that's for other question.

Edit: Look at this for the STA error
