a common cause for this error is another file with the same name in the system path. As in "python and windows try to load excel from microsoft, but there is some excel.dll from somebody who tries to excell in some area" Sysinternals diskmon is a nice tool to debug this stuff. Try to google for it, microsoft changes it's website structure faster then bing can follow.
