SOLVED: py2exe Registry Access from NT Service ...

[Harald Schneider]

Strange ... I changed the order of the import statements from

import win32serviceutil,win32service,win32event,pywintypes
import os,string,rpcserver,xmlrpclib,confighandler
from agent import *
from setuptool import RegistryTool

to

from agent import *
from setuptool import RegistryTool
import win32serviceutil,win32service,win32event,pywintypes
import os,string,rpcserver,xmlrpclib,confighandler

and not it works!

The registry access is done in a class contained in the agent module. Under
Python 2.1 the order played no role, under 2.2 it does!

All the best,
Harald
