Hello @Potluri, ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Azure Databricks clusters are using Linux (specifically, Ubuntu Linux), so you can't use COM library that is designed for Windows.

The pywin32 and pypiwin32 is "Python extensions for Microsoft Windows Provides access to much of the Win32 API, the ability to create and use COM objects, and the Pythonwin environment."

One supported OS is Microsoft Windows, because you can access the Win32 API only from Windows.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
