title: SimpleCV cannot load OpenCV library
body: <p>I have installed SimpleCV from the 1.3 Superpack in Win Server 2008 R2.</p>
  
  <p>In Python, I can load the Image library as:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>from SimpleCV import Image</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This works correctly in Python scripts executed as </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>python script.py</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It also works from IDLE and python interactive.</p>
  
  <p>This ONLY works correctly if I am logged in as the user account used when installing SimpleCV.</p>
  
  <p>I have set a system variable PYTHONPATH to value 
  C:\SimpleCV1.3\files\opencv\build\python\2.7</p>
  
  <p>If I log in with another account, "from SimpleCV import Image" executes correctly from IDLE in interactive mode.  It also executes correctly if I launch python from a Windows Run "C:\Python27\python".  If I just start a command shell and launch python interactve I get:</p>

  </code></pre>

  <p>Can anyone help me understand why this only works correctly in the original installation account, and works (partially) in other accounts?  I'm particularly confused that it will execute correctly in IDLE interactive but not from a command line execution of the script.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
