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".
