Aha. Thanks, thought there must be an easier way of doing that.

You'll be pleased to hear then that I just tried it on a real win98se
box, with python 2.4.4/ctypes 1.0.2/comtypes 0.5.2 and it worked fine
(after swapping cmd.exe for command.com that is).

Obvious stab-in-the-dark here, try:
from comtypes.gen import IWshRuntimeLibrary
+ws = ws.QueryInterface(IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShell2)
shortcut = ws.CreateShortcut("test_shortcut.lnk").QueryInterface(
IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut)
Also make sure you're on the latest comtypes version, I vaugely
remember the code generator messing me around a bit before I upgraded
(to 0.4.2 that would have been, though).

This strikes me as a misdiagnosis, problem looks to be with the
generated interface, not the underlying library in win98.
