[python-win32] Win32 Mode

[DogWalker]

It looks like Win9x should use ExitWindowsEx function.

  My guess is you are running Win9x - these functions only exist in the NT
family (NT/2k/xp).  The MSDN docs document what functions can be used where,
and I haven't tried to mirror that in the PyWin32 docs.

  Do a google search for how to shutdown 9x - IIRC, it is simply a matter of
sending explorer a message.  (Initially, avoid 'python' in your search - it
may still give you the clue)

  Mark.

    That's not what seems to be happening.  Here's the entire code:

        import win32api
        win32api.InitiateSystemShutdown ('', '', 0, 1, 1)

    and this is the result:

        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "try.py", line 9, in ?
            win32api.InitiateSystemShutdown ('', '', 0, 1, 1)
        pywintypes.error: (120, 'InitiateSystemShutdown', 'This function is
only valid in Win32 mode.')

    Hmmmm...

How can a script be "put in" Win32 mode in order to use some of the
win32api calls ?
