Not a solution per say but a workaround if you are interested is: 1) Download the pywin32 in the wheel format from Christoph Gohlke's, "thanks god it exists" site http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pywin32
2) Get the one appropriate for your Python version ( pywin32‑220.1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl) 3) use "pip install <libname>.whl to install it. 4) Run `python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install` from an elevated command prompt. As the site mentions. The key is "elevated command prompt". w/o
