Summary: COM Makepy for Excel Fails

Initial Comment:

Here is the output window with 2 attempts for two
different excel interface versions (below).  The files
seem to be in the right places and I haven't taken it
much further than that.  My system is XP/SP2 with Excel
97 SR2.

Thanks,

jv

Please upgrade to python 2.4.2 or later, then delete your
win32com\gen_py directory and it should be resolved (it is a
bug in Python 2.4.1)
