Except that they do not seem to work.... I have tried three so far, and
they all fail with object has no attribute errors...

Either that, or there is a significant difference with ActiveState &
standard
Python 2.4.1 with the Win32all extensions...  (I don't remember a
significant difference...
I have previously used ActivateState back in the v2.0 / v2.1 days...)

For example...

def windows_installed_software ( host_computer = "."):
    import win32com.client
    strComputer = host_computer
    objWMIService =
win32com.client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
    objSWbemServices =
objWMIService.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\cimv2")
    colItems = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Product")
    for objItem in colItems:
        print "Caption: ", objItem.Caption
        print "Description: ", objItem.Description
        print "Identifying Number: ", objItem.IdentifyingNumber
        print "Install Date: ", objItem.InstallDate
        print "Install Date 2: ", objItem.InstallDate2
        print "Install Location: ", objItem.InstallLocation
        print "Install State: ", objItem.InstallState
        print "Name: ", objItem.Name
        print "Package Cache: ", objItem.PackageCache
        print "SKU Number: ", objItem.SKUNumber
        print "Vendor: ", objItem.Vendor
        print "Version: ", objItem.Version

	They are obviously missing a step, because the colItems /
ExecQuerry is working, but
objItems does not have any of the Caption / Description, etc
variables....

	So there must be a missing step....
