Matteo Boscolo — Fri, 29 May 2015 08:23:02 -0000

as you can using the win32com i did not have any error

from win32com.client import DispatchEx,Dispatch
a = Dispatch('TD_appl.Application', clsctx=CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER | CLSCTX_ACTIVATE_64_BIT_SERVER)
a.CLSID
IID('{39AAEA35-F71F-11D2-BD59-00500400405B}')
a.Visible=True
a.Interactive=True
import comtypes.client

if i try to create or get the same object from comtype i get the following error

td_appl = CreateObject("{39AAEA36-F71F-11D2-BD59-00500400405B}",clsctx=CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER | CLSCTX_ACTIVATE_64_BIT_SERVER)
