#140 Incorrect error message when attempting to debug a service that isn't installed. Python 3.4

[Horb]

Python 3.4

When attempting to run a service in debug mode without previously installing the service the following error message is received.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python34\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line 620, in HandleCommandLine
    exeName = LocateSpecificServiceExe(serviceName)
  File "c:\Python34\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line 86, in LocateSpecificServiceExe
    hkey = win32api.RegOpenKey(win32con.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\%s" % (serviceName), 0, win32con.KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
pywintypes.error: (2, 'RegOpenKeyEx', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "BuildService.py", line 76, in <module>
    win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(AppServerSvcBase)
  File "c:\Python34\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line 622, in HandleCommandLine
    if exc[0]== winerror.ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND:
TypeError: 'error' object does not support indexing

Where the following error message would be expected;

The service does not appear to be installed.
Please install the service before debugging it.

The following patch to win32/lib/win32serviceutil.py resolves the issue;

622c622
<                 if exc[0] == winerror.ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND:
---
>                 if exc.winerror == winerror.ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND:

My proposed patch
https://sourceforge.net/p/pywin32/patches/142/
is very similar.

Could you, please, aplly also two my patches (#141 and #142)?
They are very simple and very similar -
a couple of lines
with indexing operator replaced by normal attribute access.
