OK, I'm trying to set up a Virtual PC so I can install a non-English XP. But would you mind running the following code for me, please, so I can get a handle on what's coming back: <code> import pythoncom import win32com.client try: win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts://blahblah") except pythoncom.com_error, info: for i in info: print repr (i) </code> Thanks TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
