Here is the situation:
We wrote a PowerPoint plugin in python. It uses a number of com classes for recieving events but there is apparently only one comserver and that creates PowerPointUI.dll. It also creates 13 .pyd files, python23.dll, pythoncom23.dll, pywintypes23.dll.
On the machine we run the original setup the dll registers fine and the plugin works great running from the dll.
On a machine without py2exe (either with Python installed or without) I get the following error:
Command Line: regsvr32 PowerPointUI.dll Returned: DllRegisterServer in PowerPointUI.dll failed. Return code was: 0x80040201
I did a bunch of searching on the web and ran into a post that suggested using regmon to see what registry entries regsvr32 is accessing.
I found that regsvr32 had all attempts to access missing keys. (listed at the bottom; sorry for the length, i am not sure what will be important).
We do the traceutils stuff and it has allways worked but I dont see anything at all when I try to register the dll.
I am hoping that we are just miss configuring something beacuse we really didnt want to have to force our users to have python, py2exe, win32all installed to run the powerpoint plugin.
Here is the setup file we use:

If anyone has any hints or questions let me know, I wrote this email at 1am after me and my group spent ~30 of the last 65 hours working on getting the Addin running.
Thanks, Sam
