Summary: pywin32 218 amd64 vista py3.3.0 installation Issue

Initial Comment:
I had to build a custom python3.3 from source to resolve a python/pyramid problem. Thus I wanted to inform the pywin32 installer of the location of my custom python. The pywin installer accomodates just this very problem, The installer knows that it is looking for a python 3.3.  However the field of the popup for specifying the path to my python was not writable.  The installer did inform me that it could not find a version of python 3.3 in the registry after I had removed the version of python 3.3 that I had installed by the msi file. That was a useful enough clue so that I could solve the problem. I reinstalled the "bad" but std python 3.3.0 release which created the proper registry entry, Then used regedit to modify all paths to point to my local python. That worked but I suspect that is not really the proper long term solution.
Knowing this problem exists, I'll keep an eye out for pywin future releases and test if resolution has been attempted.
