Python 3.7 or 3.8 aren't compatible with win32gui.

3.8 was released in 2019 and the latest version of win32gui was released in August 2017.

I suggest using python 3.6 or lower for the installiton to work properly.

But, theres an alternative, by installing (pip install pywin32) will install win32gui alongside modules for interfacing with windows.
