Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. Apologies for my vague question, let me see if I can
rephrase: I want to run pywin inside an aws instance, which only allows for
command line interface.
Currently I can use pywin in my local machine, but it needs to open Visio
and Word windows. However, in the aws instance it throws an error:
‘ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program
Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 86, in
_GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221021, 'Operation unavailable', None, None)
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Is it related to the fact that I can’t open Visio/ Word windows? If so, is
there a way for me to avoid this error?
Thanks
Nina
