Summary: pywin32-214 install problems

Initial Comment:
I am trying to install PythonWin and am having no luck.  I currently have both Python 3.1 and 2.7 installed on my computer.  I have downloaded pywin32-214 and 213, but I get the error "Python version 3.1 required, which is not found in registry."  Same error occurs when I try to execute Build 213 file too.  After doing some research, I saw some notes that this error can occur due to 32 bit versus 64 bit incompatibility.  I am running Windows 7, 64 bit.  So how do I resolve this problem? 

Also, I downloaded both the entire 214 build package and the .exe file.  With the entire build package, I clicked on "setup" python file and it launched a command window that scrolled text and immediately closed.  Besides this window (which I couldn't read because it closed too quickly), nothing else for the setup launched or continued.

Message:
If you have a 64bit version of Python, you must use a 64bit version of the
installer .exe for pywin32.  Note that just because you have a 64bit OS
does not mean you have the 64bit Python - both the 32bit and 64bit versions
work on a 64bit OS.  If you start python, the startup banner will tell you
what version you have installed.
