It seems that the full path is not installed in the registry. Even if I
modified it manually COM objects raise an automation error ('the specified
module cannot be found') if accessed from VB but work fine if accessed from
python using win32com.client.Dispatch.

Basically I could not make COM servers work from VB unless PythonCOM22.dll,
python22.dll, and PyWinTypes22.dll exist in the winnt/system32 directory.

However I had no problem registering COM servers and using them from python
after following your instructions.

Thanks
