I've used Python for this kind of thing. We are using Zope as the GUI to control test fixtures. This has been tremendously successful. Python handles little things like "\" verses "/" as well as socket issues.
COM has it's place, but it's not the best solution in all case!! What about cross platform apps? What about apps that don't want to mess with the registry. Which is a real pain during install. COM is too complicated in many cases and locks you into Windows.
