Summary: UnicodeDecodeError on version 211

Initial Comment:
Clean install of python 2.5.2 and windows extensions version 211.

After calling my own COM object

moniker = win32com.client.Dispatch('MXApi.MXMoniker')
moniker.ParseDisplayName("live/chain.fx/global/usd/default")

results in a UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ... error.

Reinstalling version 210 again and the problem goes away.

Any ideas?
