I got the same error during pip install, and I solved it by installing build 225 of pywin32 instead of the latest version:

pip install pywin32==225

I followed soberWolf's suggestion, but needed to add the --user switch as the permissions seem a little off, so pip install --ignore-installed pywin32 --user
