Hi all.? First post, and I did try to do due diligence on browsing the mailing list and googling, but I could not find an answer to this (? hopefully I tried hard enough... ;->? ).
I have a setup where I want a COM LocalServer to only be available when the application has been manually started. Basically my COM server gets enabled when the user starts an application that loads my application as a dll.? My COM server is useless without the application. In standard COM, this is achieved by registering a dummy dll and then using CoRegisterClassObject(CLSID_SOME,&ei,CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE,&pdwReg) in the executable, making it available when the process is running. The python win32com examples all perform a single registration which allows other com clients to use it at arbitrary times, which will not work for me.? I would need to either: 1. Be able to register the COM server at installation time with a "dummy" dll and only have it be available when the process is running and my dll is loaded into it or 2. Register/unregister the COM server on demand - once at the entry point into my dll and once on exit, but do so without administrative privelidges since that would be unworkable for the user. Could someone give me a hint how I might be able to achieve this with python win32com? Thanks Johan
