  Installing in Windows

  For Windows, PyWin32 or the more recent pypiwin32, is a prerequisite.
  The latter is installed automatically when you install PyInstaller using
  pip or easy_install. If necessary, follow the pypiwin32 link to install
  it manually.

I have installed PyInstaller using "pip install pyinstaller".

Ok, then:

C:\Users\admin>pip install pywin32
Collecting pywin32
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from versions: )
  Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable
(use --allow-external pywin32 to allow).
No matching distribution found for pywin32

Why "Permission denied"? I am logged in as administrator! Stupid Windows...


Then https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32/219 :
