New to the list..
I'm trying to use comtypes.client.GetActiveObject to get an instance of
internet explorer on XP SP2. This results in 'operation unavailable' every
time, and I can't understand why.
GetActiveObject works for other apps. This is IE7. Is it not registering
itself with the com server? How can I check that? Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Aaron
