[python-win32] Dispatch InternetExplorer.Application fails

[Rickey, Kyle W]

Whenever I try the following:

>> import win32com.client
>> ie = win32com.client.Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")

I get this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line
95, in Dispatch
    dispatch, userName =
dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line
98, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
    return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line
78, in _GetGoodDispatch
    IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
com_error: (-2147024894, 'The system cannot find the file specified.',
None, None)

Any ideas what would cause this? My end goal is to COM into IE and load
an xml file, then print it to PDF.
