Summary: pythoncom fails to import due to CreateURLMonikerEx

Initial Comment:
Noticed on the 'bzr' mailing list which recently released a binary using build 213

"""
Entry point to procedure CreateURLMonikerEx does not found in DLL urlmon.dll

I've tried to install on Windows 2000 machine. 
"""

Note this machine was running the Russian version which may be relevant, as MSDN says it should be there...

second -- i noticed a bug filed against pywin32, build 213. just wanted
you to know that we're seeing the same problem here on an old win2k SP4 vm,
which ships the urlmon.dll at the link below. dependency walker indicates
it can't import CreateURLMonikerEx, and hacking up
pythoncom_CreateURLMonikerEx in PythonCOM.cpp to remove that call fixes the
import issue.

bug subject line: [ pywin32-Bugs-2693152 ] pythoncom fails to import due
to CreateURLMonikerEx

just letting you know, as the bug was marked closed, but it does cause
py2exe-created exes to barf (fails to memoryloadlibrary pythoncom25.dll)
where they worked in versions < 213 -- hope this is helpful.

Followup from the original reporter:
I've discovered that I had semi-broken IE installation on that machine.
Reinstalled IE6 did fix the problem.
Thanks.
