I filed a github issue (#1331), but reading through the other issues, it became apparent I should use this mailing list instead. Here is a synopsis of the problem (cut and paste from the github issue).
- Expected behavior and actual behavior. using Python 2.7.5 for 32-bit Windows, using pywin32 219, we do not see an error loading a COM object. However, for Python 2.7.14 with pywin32 223, we get the following error message ERROR: failed to create the foo COM application object. (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None) The interesting thing is that for Python 2.7.14/pywin32 223, if the user switches accounts, the problem goes away. Given the error above, I suspect pywin32 has become more stringent in terms of checking permissions, either by design or by using a different underlying system library, or perhaps an updated system library. - Steps to reproduce the problem. I need to get this information from the field engineer I am working with - it might be complicated as this is proprietary code I am working with. Are there any variables (within Python or an environment variable) I can set to trace exactly where the error is happening? If there is, that might help me come up with a reproducer. - Version of Python and pywin32 Python 2.7.14 pywin32 223 I also need to find out the version of Windows being (7/8/10, is it a server version, etc...)
