Had the above noted errors with my python27 pywin32 installation that got installed after my installation of ArcGIS on a windows2008 R2 server (trying to centralize our scripts).

Thanks so much for your solution. Took me a couple of install and uninstalls before I finally ran across your solution and modified it for my version.
