[list.repository]

Problem:

Works fine when running python test.py but fails when executing
test.exe.
test.py:

conn = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('ADODB.Con nection')
conn.Open("Provider='SQLOLEDB';Data Source='.';Initial
Catalog='mydatabase';User ID='user';Password='pwd';")
..

..

setup.py:(same KeyError)

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=['test.pyw'],
options = { "py2exe": { "typelibs":
[('{00000550-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}', 0, 2, 8)]
}
}
)

(Doesn't work since its not registered or need to get the

setup.py: (same KeyError)

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

Solution:

Use a registered typelib that has ADODB.Connection functionality :)

Any suggestions...

I'm not positive about this, but when using com you need to force it
into the compile. In my applications where I use Excel I use this line:

python setup.py py2exe --progid "Excel.Application"

You may need to do something similar for the db application.

Ok apparently that's not the fix. I just tried that with Python 2.4 and
the newest version of py2exe and win32all, and I can not get it to
work.

Can someone explain how to freeze Excel with the new version of py2exe?
The old way isn't working anymore. I used one of the templates
provided, but I kept getting CLSID errors, even when I provide the
typelib in the options menu in setup.

So "--progid" was removed, what replaced it?

Thanks
