DLL load failed error when running mitmweb.exe

I have ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. error when running mitmweb.exe. My steps:

  • downloaded Windows installer from https://mitmproxy.org/ (v 5.0.1)
  • installed (with defualt settings) on Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
  • ran C:\Program Files (x86)\mitmproxy\bin\mitmweb.exe

Full error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "mitmweb", line 2, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\tools\main.py", line 22, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\tools\_main.py", line 14, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\master.py", line 7, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\addonmanager.py", line 8, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\eventsequence.py", line 5, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\http.py", line 7, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\net\http\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\net\http\request.py", line 11, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\net\http\message.py", line 5, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "mitmproxy\net\http\encoding.py", line 11, in <module> File "d:\a\mitmproxy\mitmproxy\.tox\cibuild\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module File "site-packages\brotli.py", line 8, in <module> ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. [964] Failed to execute script mitmweb

So what DLLs am I missing?

Solution

  • At the moment the only workaround I know is to use version 4.0.4.
