New issue 301 by nielch...@gmail.com: comtypes Issues again
http://code.google.com/p/ulipad/issues/detail?id=301

Seems quite similar to ISSUE 112, but I am not sure.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
2. Install wxPython2.9-win64-2.9.4.0-py27
3. SVN checkup the updated ulipad
4. run Ulipad.py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect the nice GUI of Ulipad would show up. However, it shows:

begin... 16:03:31
There are some errors as importing mimxins, Please see the error.txt.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python 2.7.3
OS: Windows 7 64 bit


Please provide any additional information below.

I went to http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes/
to download both zip and exe file. Running the exe file will tell me it
does not find python. After unzipping the file, running the setup.py of
comtypes folder would get this:

C:\Users\cxn123430\Downloads\comtypes-0.6.2>setup.py

comtypes has exe installer, so you should download it. And for wxpython
2.9, I found some compatiable problems, so I suggest that using 2.8.x
version。

The exe file of comtypes does not work as shown in the first picture. But I
found a solution to this.
1. Install wxpython 2.8 version
2. Download the zip version of comtypes
3. unzip it and copy the files into your sit-packages folder in python
directory (e.g. C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages), as shown in the second
picture
4. Run ulipad.py

Because comtypes will find the python installation directory in registry,
so if you haven't install python normal, it'll be failed.
