[python-win32] COM -- Dispatch() parameter

[Ferdinand Sousa]

Greetings to everyone on the mailing list,

To automate Word using COM, we use the Dispatch function:
Dispatch("Word.Application")

What parameter must be passed to Dispatch to launch Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Professional?
Is it the VersionIndependentProgID registry key? Even so, there are so many
things in the registry that go like "Acrobat ...", "AcroIE.Helper",
"PDFMaker. ..." it is a nightmare to find out what is the correct item you
need.

My second question is, What parameter must be passed to Dispatch() to start
any general application that supports COM automation?

Many thanks and regards,
Ferdi
