ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Question

I have a 64 bit architecture system. I installed Python 2.7.5. I then started the installation of pywin32-214.win-amd64-py2.7. That failed with the "ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application" error message.

Any suggestions?

This is a compatibility issue between 32 bit and 64 bit. So, either try 64 bit Python or 32 bit Python with 32 bit pywin32 installer.

This sounds like a port issue with the binary see this post, it is similar.
