  <p><strong>Notes</strong>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>For <em>Python 3.7</em>, I also upgraded my <em>PyWin32</em> module to the latest, and it works</li>
  <li>Older <em>PyWin32</em> versions work on older <em>Python</em> versions (<em>2.7</em>, <em>3.5</em>, <em>3.6</em>)</li>
  <li>Reproducible on <em>64bit</em> and <em>32bit</em></li>
