[python-win32] py2exe - ms vista - CreateProcess/ShellExecute/etc...

Hi,
after hours of searching, testing and hoping to code for vista never again ;) 
i tried to call an application with everything i found...
sometimes py2exe couldn't load the needed modules.
but every time the app stuck. it seems that ShellExecuteEx doesnt word with py2exe... maybe i'm wrong. i read about some 'magic' to load the necessary win32 modules... doesnt work... 

so... how do i call an application in vista? 

thanks in advance

ps:
Non-Elevated Application Runs an Elevated Application.
A non-elevated application may need to spawn an elevated application to perform a download, an install, register a COM server etc.
The Shell API calls ShellExecute() and ShellExecuteEx() do this just fine.
Often programmers launch applications using CreateProcess(), which is useful to wait on a process to terminate. Unfortunately CreateProcess() will fail under Vista when running an elevated application from a non-elevated application. You will need to use ShellExecute() or ShellExecuteEx() which BTW can also return a process ID, then use WaitForSingleObject(ExecInfo.hProcess, INFINITE).
