Paul,
Thanks that worked great.
But, I don't understand what you mean by the import hook doesn't work properly.
The .pyd files were in the site-packages subfolders so why couldn't Python
find them?
Thanks,
John Freking

You're on the right track with your focus on .dlls but I'd say the loader can't
find a .pyd (which is a .dll really) that win32api wants. A brute-force
solution is to search for win32*.pyd and *winxp*.pyd in python26 and subtree
(which will be in site-packages\win32 and site-packages\pythonwin), and copy
them next to python.exe. It should be a total of 30 files.
This is klugy and ugly but it may work. (It's also easy to back out if it
doesn't work!)
I support an embedded-Python environment where the vendor's import hook that
doesn't quite work properly with packages, so I have to do that routinely.
If it does work then you can ask again here for a tidier solution.

Subject: [python-win32] pywin32-214 DLL install error
Hi,
I'm running XP SP3 and Python 2.6.2 and I'm trying to install pywin32-214
but it fails to load a DLL. The following is the error message I get at the
end of the install.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 601, in <module>
File "<string>", line 313, in install
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
When I try to use the module in a python program I get the following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\WorkArea\Python\excel2007", line 2, in <module>
import win32com.client as win32
File "C:\Python26\lib\win32com\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
>>>
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall install pywin32 but that didn't work.
And I have tried moving two DLLs, Pythoncom26.dll and PyWinTypes26.dll, into
the system32 directory which also didn't work.
Thanks,
John Freking
