[python-win32] win32, ASP, ActivePython COM Help

[Jorgensen, Jens]

You should look into your IUSR_XXX. The user IIS runs stuff as has 
limited access to the system. Notably, it does not allow access to the 
registry. This could be your problem or it could be something else the 
software is trying to access. Have you tried this in VBScript? I bet 
you'll get the same thing. This most likely is not a python problem.
