Hello Python-win32 mailing list:

I just figured out my problem and wanted to share for anyone else.  On a=20
normal install of Python 3.12 using pip to install pywin32 I was getting=20
"servicemanager.__file__ could not be loaded " pretty much no matter=20
what I did.  The message in event viewer was "RuntimeError:=20
servicemanager.__file__ could not be loaded - win32 error code is 193 ".


After adding everything to the System Paths I eventually got an error=20
message indicating could not load from "c:\program" on the command line.=20
  Which lead to a memory I have of why I always installed python to=20
c:\python312 ( or whatever ).  I uninstalled python, reinstalled it to=20
the directory without spaces and everything works great.

I don't know if it is PythonService.cpp isn't parsing the space in here:

     Py_Initialize();
     module =3D PyImport_ImportModule("servicemanager");
     if (!module)
         goto failed;
     f =3D PyObject_GetAttrString(module, "__file__");
     Py_DECREF(module);
     if (!f)
         goto failed;

or if it's somewhere in the ServiceManger.pyd.  I'm not entirely sure=20
how to track down where it's not parsing the space, but this is a good=20
work around.
