I'm trying to use a proprietary windows software with COM and win32com.
The result is everytime the error message
com_error: (-2147418113, 'Catastrophic failure', None, None)
I've read this in some e-mails, but can't find the solution and I have
not enough experience with Windows and COM.
Can anybody help ?
This ist the test script.
