Invoking a method isn't as easy as that, I'm afraid. At
the risk of being boring, can I ask again why you aren't
using the wmi module, which solves these problems for
you? 

In short you want to do something like this:
(simplified for testing purposes to use the local machine)

<code>
import win32com.client

wmi = win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts:")
win32_process = wmi.Get ("Win32_Process")
in_parameters = win32_process.Methods_ ("Create").InParameters
in_parameters.Properties_ ('CommandLine').Value = "notepad.exe"
result = win32_process.ExecMethod_ ("Create", in_parameters)

</code>
