I'm trying to run python script as a windows service and then I need to use pywin32.

After installation pywin32 via pip install I should run pywin32_postinstall as python pywin32_postinstall -install. I've got this reply and have no idea about this situation anymore:

'scripts/pywin32_postinstall.py' not found in metadata at c:\python\lib\site-packages\

result of pywin32_postinstall

As a result I can't run my service.

Did You meet similar situation or have You any ideas?

I solved my problem!

Don't install via pip

Just need to download suitable file from here: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/releases

After the installation run python pywin32_postinstall -install and no errors will not occur.
