[python-win32] Problem on com server ony in a specifie application

[Matteo Boscolo]

Hi all,

I made the following test:
I create a c# application that call the some method
//code
             object obj = Activator.CreateInstance
                 (Type.GetTypeFromProgID("test.Application"));
             object[] objArgs = new object[1];
             objArgs[0] = "ciao";
             obj.GetType().InvokeMember("comInit",
                 BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, obj, objArgs);

             object ret=obj.GetType().InvokeMember("Now",
                 BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, obj, objArgs);

If I compile the code under any cpu I got the some problem that in 
thinkdesing
If I compile the code under 32Bit cpu I have no error and the com server 
works well ..

So now my question is :
Can I manage this situation under python code ?

The strange think is if I use the anyCpu compilation the method Now 
works without any problem...!??!?

Regards,
Matteo
