I just had to recreate this problem.

The problem IS with Windows and paths.  The problem is windoze loading 
process.  At the time you are trying to load pythoncom, it cannot find 
the DLL (or finds the wrong DLL).

The fix (such as it is):  put a copy of your pythoncom22.dll and 
pywintypes22.dll in the "current directory" where your application is 
trying to run from.  That will be the first-chance for windows to find 
the correct DLL.


Tested on XP-PRO, HP system, installed python-2.2.3, pywin32-203
