Hi Mark,
  When I have installed the application on my test (never had python
installed) system, and try to run it, I get the following.

Initialsing 'pywintypes'
Initialising 'pythoncom'
Initialising 'win32ui'
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "c:\progra~1\python\sifex\sifex.py", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 8, in ?
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 22, in ?
ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not
functioning.

I have copied python15.dll, python15.lib, pythoncom15.dll, and
pywintypes.dll to the c:\windows\system directory, and I have setup
registry entried pointing to pythoncom15 and pywintypes (under
Local_Machine\Software\\Python\PythonCore\Modules (actually I exported
the regeistry entries for these modules from my development system)

In the programs installed directory, I have the pyds for win32api,
win32ui, and wxc (needed for wxPython).

I have taken a look at line 22 (and the 22nd line ignoring blanks, and
the 22nd line of programming code, excluding comments, docstrings, and
blanks) and am not getting any reference to win32com.client.dynamic,
however line1 is the following line
import win32com.client, win32com  # win32com imports for freeze

I added an import of win32com to rty to fix the problem, but it didn't
work.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated, my sales rep told the
client I would be finished for wednesday....

Nigel
