WIN32OLE Question

[Bryan Richardson]

Hello all,

I'm currently using the win32ole api to access an application on a
Windows machine using the application's COM interface. I noticed when
reading through the documents for the api that the win32ole constructor
also optionally accepts a server to be defined. This brought up my
question:

Is it possible for me to run the win32api on a Linux machine and use it
to access a Windows application via the application's COM interface over
a network connection?

Hello,

Is it possible for me to run the win32api on a Linux machine and use it
to access a Windows application via the application's COM interface over
a network connection?

Unfortunately, I think it is impossible.
I'm not sure and I'have not tried, but if WINE provides DCOM, you could
access Windows application's COM interface from WINE on a Linux machine.

Thanks for the reply. I've thought about this approach, but after
spending a considerable amount of time on it, I was still not able to
get my Windows application to successfully run in WINE. :/

maybe wait for samba4, or better yet, support them since they are really =
doing extra ordinary work for free..

Not sure I understand the usefulness of samba4 for solving my current
problem... care to explain?
