Subprocess runs another program. It's the program you are running that's
giving the error, Python is merely reporting it.

Hi!

> side-by-side configuration is incorrect

Others have given you an explanation.

A possibility: you use a DLL directly, without having installed.
That is OK with some DLL, and no OK with others DLL.

It may sound strange, but even in 64-bit Python on Win64,
sys.plattform=="win32".

You can check that subprocess is working, e.g. with
subprocess.call('dir', shell=True)
