If you click on version 200, for example, you'll see there is a file 
"pywin32-200.win32-py2.3.exe".  Download it and execute it. It will 
install itself in the proper location, which is stored in the registry.

And, as a rule, it's considered rude in a list like this to say "please 
don't ask why".  It may not be the case for you, but very often we get 
very specific off-the-wall questions that arose only because the asker 
took a wrong turn several steps ago.  By learning more about the "why", 
we can offer a much better overall experience.
