Yes, I know that this isn't Python's fault. I know how to resolve the problem. But what's frustrating is that this error message is totally unhelpful, because it doesn't contain the DLL that Python is looking for.

Yes, I know that the error message is just directly from windows. But there has to be some way to make this error message more helpful. There has to be some way to tell the user what the name of the DLL is. Because the current state of this error message is sad.
