OK, I'm trying to set up a Virtual PC so I can install
a non-English XP. But would you mind running the
following code for me, please, so I can get a handle
on what's coming back:

<code>
import pythoncom
import win32com.client

try:
  win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts://blahblah")
except pythoncom.com_error, info:
  for i in info:
    print repr (i)

</code>

Thanks
