<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am new to this group. I am not sure how to do search on
the archives so if my question is duplicate please forgive me <span
style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have Python 2.7.amd64 and pywin32-214.win-amd64-py2.7
installed on my Win7 64bit machine. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to use a COM object (the source of the COM is in
C++ and MFC) in my python script. I registered the dll and tried to create a
object and here is what I got:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>>>> import win32com.client<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>>>> security =
win32com.client.Dispatch("SWDBSecurityCOM.SWDBSecurity")<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Traceback (most recent call last):<o:p></o:p></p>

None, None)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>>>><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note that I was able to successfully creating the object in
my WinXP and Win7 32bit machine. So I am thinking the problem must be related
to 64bit somehow. How can I fix this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
