OK. Now we're into the ClassID thing. I'm hoping that someone with
py2exe knowhow will chip in here. That line is trying to generate
a Python module to correspond to the ADODB.Command typelib:

command = EnsureDispatch ("ADODB.Command")

The py2exe wiki suggests that a slight nudge to the code
might fix the problem:

http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/IncludingTypelibs

At this point there are several options open to us:

(in no particular order)
1) You could nudge the code at line 217 to make use of
that suggestion.
2) I could do that and send you the result.
3) I could alter the module so it doesn't use gencache
at all. I don't seem to be using any constants so the
Dispatch might as well be dynamic.
4) None of the above.

I'm happy to do (3) and send it to you privately if you're
willing to try. Of course, it might not be the cause
of the problem in any case!
