Thanks for the link. That method did not seem to work on Windows Server 2016. I have found a solution that seems to work correctly, if not very efficiently, on Windows 10. Since I doubt that Windows Server machines will be called on very often to build pywin32, I am leaving the script with a little message telling the unfortunate user to install dotNET 3.5 manually.
Still I wonder what part of our build system requires something so obsolete.
