Python - pip pywin32 fails

Im trying to install pywin32 currently in a venv, but it seems to be failing - at least, pywin32 is not located in site-packages afterwards. After entering pip install pywin32, i do not get an error - instead, it says Downloading and the URL, and afterwards i return to the shell - no error, no affirmation that the installation succeeds.

HOWEVER... the shell turns red.

enter image description here

Ive never seen such behavior, and the red color doesnt go away without having to restart the shell.

Why does the installation fail AND the shell turns red?

To complete this question ;-)

Try to create a new virtualenv with python 3.6:

$ mkvirtualenv testPyWin32 --python=python3.6
$ pip install pywin32

The color turns red because it is dying in the middle of running. Entering the command Color 07 will fix this.

Do you have admin access? Is your virtualenv activated?
