Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by spawn the COM access in a separate
process. This is my first time dabbling with COM objects.
I use the software every day in the traditional fashion so I know I have
access. It looks like it spawns another process "System Login State
Manager" which seems to be the determinant of whether DCOM access is
allowed/denied. I've noticed two instances of this running sometimes and
sometimes none. I think most of the issues were self-induced from spawning
the process from python, it failing and me killing too many or not enough
of the tasks in task manager.
Is there a neat way to kill all the tasks that you've started when your
script fails without hitting the application's Quit call? I am currently
wrapping it in a
fx = win32com.client.Dispatch('CimplicityME.Application')
try:
# do stuff
except:
fx.Quit()
