I doubt this, because I used mingw to compile Qt, PyQt, dbus and dbus-python. 
And I only have one Python version on this system.
I also tried to compile it with msvc in another virtual machine, but this 
results in the same error.

I used the dbus directory from the PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.3.tar.gz tarball, copied 
it to the windows directory and it compiled without an error.
