I just answered this email on the py2exe list without being aware you also posted it here - the issue is almost certainly incorrect usage of "com_server" and "console" in the py2exe script.

But, after I create the EXE file using the setup.py file and run it, it registers the library. When I run the VB application, it hangs at the line Set connection = CreateObject("SAMPLE.Lib") and displays. " ACTIVEX cannot create the object" Any suggestions please....

I need to deploy it on various sytems. When I run the COM server from python its showing an output " Registered : sample.lib" If I try to use the COM obj from a VB client like: obj = CreateObject("sample.lib") Its working fine without any errors Now I am trying to convert this COM server to an exe through py2exe and after I run the exe, I am getting the same output " Registered : sample.lib" But If I try to use the COM obj from a VB client like obj = CreateObject("sample.lib") A console pops up saying " Registered : sample.lib" and VB application hangs there. Its throwing a VB error that "ActiveX object cannot be created......etc etc" Any suggestions please.......
