Finding it impossible for PIP to install discid.

Tracked it down to this issue i.e. os.path.isfile('C:\Windows\system32\discid.dll') == False when the dll exists.

Some other dlls in that directory result in True and some in False. I cannot see any significant difference in security permissions that might cause this - only difference is security permissions for some are inherited and some are not inherited.

I get this on both Python 3.6.1 32-bit and 2.7.13 32-bit on Win 10 Pro 64-bit Anniversary Edition 1607. I use ESET Smart Security 9 as AV.
