As Elwin points out, you can get Python + pywin32 + a few other goodies 
as a single bundle.  That way, it's easy to be sure the versions match.

As for avoiding the disappearing console, the solution is simple:
    In Windows, when installing something, launch the install from a DOS 
box.  Then any error messages will still be in the console window when 
the program terminates.
