Hello Python-win32 mailing list:
I just figured out my problem and wanted to share for anyone else. On a
normal install of Python 3.12 using pip to install pywin32 I was getting
"servicemanager.__file__ could not be loaded " pretty much no matter
what I did. The message in event viewer was "RuntimeError:
servicemanager.__file__ could not be loaded - win32 error code is 193 ".
After adding everything to the System Paths I eventually got an error
message indicating could not load from "c:\program" on the command line.
Which lead to a memory I have of why I always installed python to
c:\python312 ( or whatever ). I uninstalled python, reinstalled it to
the directory without spaces and everything works great.
I don't know if it is PythonService.cpp isn't parsing the space in here:
Py_Initialize();
module = PyImport_ImportModule("servicemanager");
if (!module)
goto failed;
f = PyObject_GetAttrString(module, "__file__");
Py_DECREF(module);
if (!f)
goto failed;
or if it's somewhere in the ServiceManger.pyd. I'm not entirely sure
how to track down where it's not parsing the space, but this is a good
work around.
