It will - as one can see what you actually get, instead of what you _want_
to get. AFAIK win32 converts variants to appropriate python types, with
arrays returned as lists - so if things work as documented, you shold get
something like this:

l = ["a", "$", ...]

Making that a (binary) string should be a simple matter of 

l.join("")

So I'd like to know what you really get- of cours the first few lines are
sufficient, no need to post a 100kb jpeg binary image.
