[python-win32] Access Denied

[Srinivasa, Vish]

Hello,

           This is about a process that runs as a Windows 7 service. It is a python executable that I am trying to run as a service and when it is executed from the commandline it runs fine. However when it runs as a local account (which is the same user as the user that runs it from commandline) it fails with the following error:-

                                                      (<class 'pywintypes.com_error'>, com_error(-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None)

The line where it fails is the following:-

                                                   MyConn = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")

I deployed the service using a python wrapper. I have also deployed the said python executable using the NSSM utility with identical results. My initial reaction was it has to do with not being able to find the binaries and I added the environment variable PATH to the session thru sys.path.append(os.getenv('path')) but that didn't help.

>From a profile standpoint I think it should use the default profile if I don't specify one. How do I determine what profile it is using? The user in question does not have Admin privileges and it is a domain user. I am able to open Outlook from the commandline as well with the said user credentials.

A resolution to this vexing problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Vish Rao
