Re: [pywin32-bugs] Setting object values that are an object

[Mark H. <mha...@sk...>]

This mailing list is for bugs sent by the sourceforge bug tracker.  Try the
pyt...@py... address for general queries, where you will find
some people with WMI experience.  Unfortunately, I can't offer any clues to
what might be going wrong in this case.

Cheers,
