[python-win32] Apparent bug in COM browser on Vista

[Ross Boylan]

The Python COM browser (pywin32 build 211.1), available from the Tools 
menu of the PythonWin GUI (downloaded yesterday from active state) 
doesn't seem to be working so well on Vista.  I went to the type 
libraries, selected one (any one , apparently) and clicked on it's "+".  
This expands to an IID and a Type Library.  The latter has a "+"; when I 
click on it the console shows

Traceback (most recent call last):

None, None, text, bitmapCol, bitmapSel, cItems, 0))
TypeError: The text item must be a string or None (got unicode)

The "+" expands to an item that says "The type info can not be loaded."

I don't have MSVC, and so don't have another tool handy to do this.
