a common cause for this error is another file with the same name in
the system path. As in "python and windows try to load excel from
microsoft, but there is some excel.dll from somebody who tries to
excell in some area"

Sysinternals diskmon is a nice tool to debug this stuff. Try to google
for it, microsoft changes it's website structure faster then bing can
follow.
