[issue21132] Failure to import win32api

[David Woakes]

David Woakes added the comment:

This issue is not related to anything in the Python 3.4 release. It's a problem 
with the installer not asking to be installed as administrator.

Running C:\Python34\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py as administrator after 
installing fixes this.

[issue21132] Failure to import win32api

[David Woakes]

New submission from David Woakes:

I've seen issue 21050 and tried a complete uninstall, delete c:\python34 and 
install of python 3.4.

I can't get win32api to load unless I copy pythoncom34.dll and 
psywintypes34.dll to C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\win32 from 
C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32.

Here's output from a python -v session:

 import win32api
