I was able to capture the error below when trying to enable the add-in.
Looks like write permissions in the win32com folder. I changed
directory to the parent folder "C:\\Program
Files\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\win32com\\gen_py\\" and ran this:
C:\Program Files\Python26\Lib\site-packages> C:\Program
Files\Python26\Lib\site-packages
After this, I seem to have gotten past the write permissions, because I
see the dicts.dat file now, with the current date and time.
But now it just crashes Outlook. I'm going to try to figure out what's
happening. Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated. I'm a
developer, but haven't done Python in years, and have never done Outlook
add-ins. For starters it would help to know what the entry point is
when Outlook tries to load the add-in. In the Outlook add-in dialog it
shows that the add-in is pythoncom26.dll, but I don't see what script
it's executing.
Thanks,
Greg

Nope - I'm on the 32bit version of Office - I wasn't aware a 64bit
version was available, and I don't have a licence anyway - I'm still
playing with a beta. I should have noticed this when you mentioned the
64it versions of Python and related tools...
Good luck, and ping me if I can be of any help (although I am traveling
for the next week so may be slow to reply)
