Just updating eveyone... There is something weird going on with Python 3.4 and Windows 8. Roger Upole is working on it.
Meanwhile, after numerous remove-and-try-again passes, I have Python 3.4(64 bit) and pywin32 running on my new Windows 8.1 development machine. My current development version of adodbapi (on the hg repository at http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodbapi<http://sourceforge.net/p/adodbapi/code/ci/default/tree/>) is passing tests with ACCESS and SQL Server databases. Do not give up hope.
