Forget about that.
Pyinstaller COM support is for now completely buggy.
To overcome your problem, here is how I process:
1) Download pyinstaller source code and extract it
2) Install Visual C++ express 2008
3) Inside MSVC console, go to bootloader source directory
DllRegisterServer is not exported in bootloaders because, with msvc
(notice: not with gcc), you have to explicitely telling him that
dllmain.def has to be taken into account during link step, if you want the
relevant 4 functions to be exported. As I have not found any clue to tell
waf how to include this dependency, I do something else.
4) Modify C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\ObjBase.h
and C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\OleCtl.h to
modify DllCanUnloadNow, DllGetClassObject, DllRegisterServer,
DllUnregisterServer and precede their prototype with __declspec(dllexport).
5) It's not enough. In ..\PyInstaller-2.1\bootloader\windows, you have to
modify dllmain.c and add :
#pragma comment( linker, "/export:DllCanUnloadNow=_DllCanUnloadNow@0")
#pragma comment( linker, "/export:DllGetClassObject=_DllGetClassObject@12")
#pragma comment( linker, "/export:DllRegisterServer=_DllRegisterServer@0" )
#pragma comment( linker,
"/export:DllUnregisterServer=_DllUnregisterServer@0")
the goal is to force linker to export the corresponding functions without
the _ and @n decorations.
6) Recompile and put the 4 win32 generated DLLs in
..Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\bootloader\Windows-32bit
7) Unfortunately, it is not enough because startUp function inside
dllmain.c is buggy. There is a totally meaningless memset inside it. You
have to replace it with code borrowed from
..\PyInstaller-2.1\bootloader\common\main.c. More explicitely:
ARCHIVE_STATUS *archive_status = NULL;
archive_status = (ARCHIVE_STATUS *) calloc(1,sizeof(ARCHIVE_STATUS));
8) Unfortunately, this is not enough. When Iregister mycom object, there
was still errors:
LOADER: Manipulating Python's sys.path
File "<string>", line 1
sys.path.append(r"..\test_com\")
^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

Hope this help, and will give hints to others to continue to debug COM
functionnality of pyinstaller.
Hope Pyinstaller will read this post and won't drop COM support in future
release, because it is so useful.
