What is the reason? How can I solve this problem?
It looks to me like you installed the 32-bit version of PyWin32. When you have
a 64-bit Python, every extension you install has to be a 64-bit extension.
Unlike the 16/32 transition, 64-bit Windows simply does not have the ability to
mix 32-bit and 64-bit libraries in a single process.
It is for this reason that I still tend to choose 32-bit Python.
