Thank you for looking into this Tim. My initial thought was the same as your hunch. Below is the header CLI output
C:\windows\system32>python Python 3.6.0 (v3.6.0:41df79263a11, Dec 23 2016, 07:18:10) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> When I try to install pywin32-220.win32-py3.6.exe I get an error dialog indicating Python 3.6 is required but not found in the registry. However, I can successfully install pywin32-220.win32-amd64-py3.6.exe. But, of course I then get the runtime error when trying to load a DLL. It seems like the pywin32 install is getting confused when trying to detect the version of Python I have, somehow mixing up 32 and 64 bit. The version of Python I have was published on 12/23, so it is only a couple weeks old. Is it possible something changed in the latest Python release causing this install issue?

That said, I need to be able to use the win32com module and I am encountering issues installing it and using it. I have installed the 32-bit version of Python 3.6, which I verified at the Python cli. When I try to install the 32-bit version of pywin (build 220, pywin32-220.win32-py3.6.exe) the installer yells at me saying it can’t find a compatible version of Python. If, however, I try to install the 64-bit version of build 220 (pywin32-220.win-amd64-py3.6.exe) the install succeeds fine. That suggests rather strongly that you did NOT install the 32-bit version of Python. Can you cut-and-paste the header lines when you start the command line? — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com <mailto:t...@probo.com> Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
