If the type of one dimension is VT_UI8, then pythoncom will treat that as a 'byte buffer', so will return a string - in which case you will simply need to pretend the string is actually an array of bytes! Otherwise you are probably going to need to help create a test case so I can see exactly what is going on - what language is this object implemented in, and is the source available? We have test COM objects written in VB and C, so creating a test case shouldn't be too hard.
