Initial Comment:
I just obtained the pywin32-212.zip and attempted to build it, but got the following error:

$ python setup.py install 
Building pywin32 2.4.212.0

This is done on a Windows 2000.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Message:
You should update your Platform SDK. Search for:
"Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista"
on the Microsoft download site. Note that the latest version,
"Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5", won't
work with Visual Studio 2003.
