I have a situation where I'm using win32com.server to create an in-process Explorer shell extension for Windows (7 64-bit). The extension itself is just a sample I pulled from stackoverflow[1].

When I install it, and restart Explorer, opening the context menu on a file causes Explorer to crash. On the other hand, if I install Python and pywin32 (same versions) into a pristine Windows 7 64-bit VM appliance, and install the extension there on an out-of-the-box Explorer, it works perfectly.

Clearly, I have some kind of conflict with the first Explorer instance. It has numerous other extensions installed--Mercurial, Subversion, Directory Opus, WinMerge, and on and on. I'm guessing that I'm colliding somehow with one (or more) of these.

Any suggestions as to how I could determine the cause of the crash without having to uninstall ALL of my software?
