It's likely that they're using the broken version of bdist_wininst for their
installer (I thought Mark reported the issue and had a workaround though...).
It's already fixed, but hasn't been released yet.
Another workaround is to use "wheel convert" on the exe and then install the
wheel. You miss out on their post-install steps, but most people don't need
those anyway.
Cheers,
Steve

Subject: Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 514 and pywin32
Try the 'gohlke' download site. Whenever getting stuck in some of the newest
Python 3.x versions, that side usually has installers that work. It did work
for me just now, using Python 3.6.0 64-bit on Windows 10 64-bit OS.

So today I tried to install pywin32 on my new Python 3.6.0 and got the
following error:

Cannot install

Python version 3.6-32 required, which was not found in the registry.

OK

Seems like pywin32, although built for 3.6, doesn't understand or conform to
the PEP 514? So the installer doesn't work? I suspect maybe the code would
still work, if it would install. I also noted that pip cannot find a compatible
pywin32, and PyPI only reports compatibility through Python 3.3.
1. Where should this be reported? SourceForge?
2. Anyone know a workaround?
