Thanks for the info. I've got no idea what the problem
might be, unfortunately. I remember someone saying recently
that they were having problems with some build of pywin32
(which is the most likely prospect) but I don't remember
what. Could you copy the email to the python-win32 list?
Maybe someone there can spot the problem. I don't think
it's specific to wmi.
