Is 'VBA.Strings' registered as a COM coclass name (ProgID) in
your registry?  Look under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with e.g. regedit.
It's not registered in mine, and I don't know if it can be or
how one would go about it.

Anyway, what would chrW do for you that you can't do with
Python's own builtin unichr()...?
