Ok, I see. What I (we, in our company) usually do is that we distribute COM servers written in Python as dlls created by py2exe. We choose the '-b1' option to py2exe, the main advantage is not that less files are created but that the resulting dlls contain a Python interpreter that is NOT loaded from python.dll residing somewhere in the file system. Instead py2exe does some magic which creates a Python intrepreter that is totally isolated from any other Pythons that may be in the same process (you never know how other COM objects that the process may load are implemented). In addition I have changed the script you have posted in several minor ways: 1. I enabled logging to redirects logging output, sys.stderr and sys.stdout to the Windows OutputDebugString function, you can view it with sysinternals debugerviewer. 2. I changed the GUID for the URLSearch object, also changed the progid. 3. I changed the TranslateWithSearchContext method code to my coding style, maybe it is interesting to you. 4. I changed the object so that it automatically writes/removes the registry value that is needed for InternetExplorer when it is registered/unregistered. 5. I changed TranslateWithSearchContext so that it forwards the search to this page: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/pyhelp.cgi Testing the script running with python.exe, I see normal behaviour, except that IE is not shutting down correctly when I close it - I have to kill it with the task manager. No idea why, and it may be worth to investigate this. Testing the standalone dll, everything seems to work correctly. Also the process shuts down correctly. I did not test every possible _reg_apartment_ models, but I did not find that they behaved differently. I put a zip-archive (2MB) containing both the script (pyhelp.py) and the frozen dll (pyhelp.dll) here: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/pyhelp.zip Please try it out, maybe the dll works better for you also.
