You'll likely get more input from the guys on the python-win32 list. Most times I've come across this issue it's been because the pywin32 package (or the whole Python distribution if you're using ActiveState) was not installed as an administrator / elevated. I'm not sure I've ever fathomed why, and the investigation isn't helped by the import dance which the pywin32 code does. I don't remember solving it without a reinstall on the user's machine.
