I found, I have to deactivate Windows UAC with 
C:\Windows\System32\UserAccountControlSettings.exe

Then I was able to run

pip install pypiwin32
pip install pyinstaller

without errors.

BUT pyinstaller does not work:

S:\python>pyinstaller.exe --onefile tk.py
failed to create process.

S:\python>pyinstaller --version
failed to create process.
