Thanks Mark, that solved the problem. But I am wondering since 32bit
Python and pywin32 work on 64bit machine, why do we need the 64bit
version? - I have always thought that you need to install 64bit
version on 64bit machines...
In practice, it is rare you need the 64bit version - only if you need
access to >3/4 GB of memory, need to use existing 64bit COM objects, etc.

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
