Problem outlined here: http://groups.google.com/group/peachfuzz/browse_thread/thread/b02ea0d0e19ae3a. If you comment out the if paramflags lines it seems to be resolved. Looks like a problem with the _cominterface_meta's _fix_inout_args. When calling something that takes...

The `VARIANT._get_value` method does not unpack arrays of arbitrary type. As seen [here](https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/blob/f269c84159372799cd0f8d7b0ee23f547b0b21ec/comtypes/automation.py#L455), it is assumed that the unpacked type is in the limited `_vartype_to_ctype` dictionary.
