I'm afraid that code works OK for me - it causes a COM exception
(-2147024893, 'The system cannot find the path specified.', None, None), but
terminates cleanly.  If that exact snippet hangs for you and you are unable
to upgrade, then I'm afraid I can't help.  If that snippet is part of a
larger program that fails, I suspect the problem will be that not all COM
objects have been cleaned up - but that is pure speculation.
