Summary: inproc server cannot find pythoncom25.dll

Initial Comment:
I am using an automation add-in for Excel implemented in Python. Excel cannot locate pythoncom25.dll unless the registry key {CLSID}\InprocServer32 contains the full pathname of pythoncom25.dll.

It looks like changing line 210 in win32com\server\register.py to:
dllName = pythoncom.__file__ 
will fix the problem. However I am not sure if this will cause problems elsewhere.
