Hi everyone,

I am new to this group. I am not sure how to do search on the archives
so if my question is duplicate please forgive me J

I have Python 2.7.amd64 and pywin32-214.win-amd64-py2.7 installed on my
Win7 64bit machine.

I am trying to use a COM object (the source of the COM is in C++ and
MFC) in my python script. I registered the dll and tried to create a
object and here is what I got:
...
Note that I was able to successfully creating the object in my WinXP and
Win7 32bit machine. So I am thinking the problem must be related to
64bit somehow. How can I fix this?

64bit processes can't use 32bit COM objects (at least not in-proc - not sure about external) and I guess your COM object is 32 bit.

The easiest answer is probably just to install the 32bit Python and 32bit pywin32 extensions - you can either leave or remove the 64bit version - they can co-exist happily...

Cheers,

Mark
