Error installing and running pywin32 2.7

Question

I am coming up with a couple errors after installing:

pywin32-217.win32-py2.7

I have recently upgraded ArcGIS to 10.1 and it us

Answer 1

An alternate solution is what Mark Hammond suggests on the pywin32 mailing list:

This seems to happen if User Access Control (UAC) is disabled - is it disabled for you?

Either way, try running "python scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install" from the root of the install directory and things should finish registering - that should fix the next error you see.

This worked fine for me.
