What version of Python did you install?

Copy files "pythoncom38.dll" and "pywintypes38.dll" from folder "pywin32_win32" (Lib/site-packages) to system directory "win32".
Make sure path folders "dll", "site-packages" and "scripts" are set within system environmental variable "Path".
Add system variable "PYTHONPATH" with same paths of the previous folders.

Thanks for your reply, don't need to do that.

The following worked, I reassembled the development environment from scratch and then I did the steps in your guide, but unlike the previous test I skipped the step C:\OpenOPC37\bin> net start zzzOpenOPCService from the section "Start the OpenOPC Gateway Service "and go directly to the next step which is to run the command C:\OpenOPC37\src> python OpenOPCService.py debug in the terminal.

I don't know if what I did makes any sense or it was just my mistake in the beginning but this worked for me.

Another change I made was to assign the value 127.0.0.1 to the variable OPC_GATE_HOST since for now I am doing tests on my premises.

Thank you again for your help.
