Hi, I am trying to dispatch a COM interface of a program that is set to "Run as Administrator" in the Compatibility Settings of its properties. Running the script w/o elevation results in a 'requires elevation' error. Running the script with elevation results in a 'server execution failed' error, which I understand to be "I can't find that thing". Removing the "Run as Administrator" from the Compatibility settings and running the script w/o elevation works, but unfortunately, this program needs to be run as administrator. When opening the program manually I have to accept the UAC popup and cannot turn it off thanks to Group Policy. Any clues?
import win32com.client o = win32com.client.Dispatch("CimplicityME.Application") gives the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 89, in _GetGoodDispatch IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch) pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221021, 'Operation unavailable', None, None) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\src\proficy.py", line 5, in <module> o = win32com.client.Dispatch("CimplicityME.Application") File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 95, in Dispatch dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx) File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 114, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName) File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 91, in _GetGoodDispatch IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch) pywintypes.com_error: (-2147024156, 'The requested operation requires elevation.', None, None) If I run the script as administrator I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 89, in _GetGoodDispatch IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch) pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221021, 'Operation unavailable', None, None) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\src\proficy.py", line 5, in <module> o = win32com.client.Dispatch("CimplicityME.Application") File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 95, in Dispatch dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx) File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 114, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName) File "C:\Users\smcconnell\PycharmProjects\proficy\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 91, in _GetGoodDispatch IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch) pywintypes.com_error: (-2146959355, 'Server execution failed', None, None)
