.. blogpost:: :title: I tried to build pywin32 for Python 3.5 :keywords: build, pywin32, Visual Studio 2015 :date: 2015-09-17 :categories: install, module, windows So I installed `Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 `_, `Windows SDK `_. I think some files changed positions so I played a little bit. I created folder ``C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\custom`` where I copied ``Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um`` into ``custom\include`` and ``Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64`` into ``custom\lib``. I modified the file ``setup.py`` from pywin32 and I tried to build (``python setup.py build``). I ended up with this error:: win32/src/win32wnet/PyNetresource.cpp(120): error C2440: 'initialisation': unable to convert from 'int (__cdecl *)(PyObject *,PyObject *)' to 'PyAsyncMethods *' Which will probably disappear in a couple of months when the code is updated but I'm still curious about what went wrong.
