Try importing win32api in the same context. If that fails, check PATH for pywintypesXY.dll: where pywintypes*.dll > I have no idea what could be wrong. Oh! To know what that little %1 means! System error message include inserts such as %1 for when errors and exceptions are shown by the system itself. All Python has in this case is the error code, ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT. So when it calls FormatMessage, it uses the flag FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS, as it should. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
