I put you code snippet into my code, running it from the desktop PC gave me the following output ( I added a print statement ):
. . . winmgmts: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT i.Caption is \\rocps00101\ROCPR001 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT i.Caption is \\ROCPS00101\ROCPR024 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT i.Caption is \\ROCPS00101\ROCPR070 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT i.Caption is \\rocps00101\ROCPR143 so that appears to work great, I took out the for i in c.Win32_Printer.... statement, built the executable, but still get the exact same error on the embedded PC. It errors as soon as the import wmib call is made, so it never gets to: wmi._DEBUG = 1 moniker = "winmgmts:" c = wmi.WMI (moniker=moniker) that you recommended. I also copied my python24 directory from the desktop PC to the embedded PC. Then added the path variable for Python. I ran the win32com\client\makepy.py file using our target dll. That seemed to work okay. I got the expected output. That didn't seem to make a difference to the executable, same error was generated. WMIB.pyc is in the library.zip file that py2exe builds, so I know that it is getting into the executable correctly. I will check around to see if the win32 calls you were referring to made it into the pywin32 package. I'll also look at ctypes again, I had originally looked at using ctypes but your wmi package simplified things so much. Thanks again for you help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
