AW: win32com.client.pythoncom.CoCreateInstance

[Stefan Migowsky]

Hi, 

did you try the constants defined in pythoncom, e.g. 

def CreateShortCut(Path, Target,Arguments = "", StartIn = "", Icon = ("",0),
Description = ""):
    from win32com.shell import shell
    import pythoncom
    # Get the shell interface.
    sh = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(shell.CLSID_ShellLink, None, \
        pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, shell.IID_IShellLink)

    # Get an IPersist interface
    persist = sh.QueryInterface(pythoncom.IID_IPersistFile)

    # Set the data
    sh.SetPath(Target)
    sh.SetDescription(Description)
    sh.SetArguments(Arguments)
    sh.SetWorkingDirectory(StartIn)
    sh.SetIconLocation(Icon[0],Icon[1])

    # Save the link itself.
    persist.Save(Path, 1)

Betreff: win32com.client.pythoncom.CoCreateInstance


does anyone have any idea why this does not work?  i am trying to get a
handle to the IShellLinkA interface that will allow me to create
shortcuts but the COM code seems to have a problem.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

import win32com.client, pywintypes
#win32com.client.pythoncom.CoInitialize()
CLSID_ShellLink = pywintypes.IID("{00021401-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}")
iShellLink      = pywintypes.IID("{000214EE-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}")
create_as = win32com.client.pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER
i = win32com.client.pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, None,
create_as, iShellLink)

here is the error that it returns...

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: There is no interface object registered that supports this
IID

the registry lists both of these guids and the shell32.dll exists; i
can create shortcuts manually.

thanks.
