Summary: pythonwin keeps opening new processes (no dde on Win64)

Initial Comment:
Every time I run "pythonwin foo", PythonWin opens a new process and a new window. Previously it would open "foo" in any existing process, MDI style.

I'm not sure what the culprit is, since I just installed PythonWin build 214. I also just started running Windows 7 64bit (I was previously on 32bit).

Message:
Good catch, apparently it just needs to be reenabled for x64 builds.  The
only changes I had in the project file were some irrelevant linker options.

I got it to work! All I had to do was this:

What modifications need to be made to the project file?

Message:
The dde module will build for amd64 using a modified project file, but I
haven't tried to integrate the necessary changes into the setup script
yet.

Message:
This is because the DDE module hjasn't been ported to the 64bit world.  It
may be fixed in the future (probably by re-implementing the functionality
using something other than DDE), but I really wouldn't hold my breath for
me to get a round tuit for this specific problem...
