I found http://old.nabble.com/Windows:-virtualenv-and-pywin32–td27658201.html (now a dead link) which offered the following solution: Browse http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/ for the URL of the exe you want Activate your virtualenv Run easy_install http://PATH.TO/EXE/DOWNLOAD This works with modern versions of setuptools (circa February 2014, reported by tovmeod in the comments).
