Hmmm - I guess that is a bug in pywin32 - that variant type *is* valid in a TYPEDESC, so pywin32 probably should convert that during the makepy process. > The makepy generated code-snippet is this: > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > - - - - - - - - > def AddTest(self, lpProperty=defaultNamedNotOptArg, > vValue=defaultNamedNotOptArg): > """method AddTest""" > return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(4, LCID, 1, (24, > 0), ((30, 1), (12, 1)),lpProperty, vValue) Can you please try changing the 30 there to 8 (ie, changing from VT_LPSTR to VT_BSTR) and let me know if it works? Actually, better yet - if it *does* work, please open a new pywin32 bug at sourceforge. If it *doesn't* work it may point at an error in the COM object. > What does the above exception really mean?
