Apparently the gohlke site had done the wheel convert, as they had a wheel.
The post-install steps were needed to make things work for me, and were documented at the gohlke site.

Thanks to both of you for your help.

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?
