okay update on present situation ran (in pythonwin interactive
window):

>>> import win32com.client
>>> from win32com.client import gencache
>>> from win32com.client import pythoncom
>>> gencache.EnsureModule('{AF684923-D245-11D3-8DE8-00A024ACAB85}', 0,
1, 0)
<module 'win32com.gen_py.AF684923-D245-11D3-8DE8-00A024ACAB85x0x1x0'
from 'win32com\gen_py\AF684923-D245-11D3-8DE8-00A024ACAB85x0x1x0.py'
>>> v = win32com.client.Dispatch("v2wreg.Application")
>>> print v
<COMObject v2wreg.Application>

as you can see the module is now being found but when I go to use
dispatch it does not use the module as it was intructed to ?

cheers,
matt.
