I would not recommend the VS Express version. Instead use the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1" <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3138>, which contains compatible 32 and 64 bit compilers for Python 2.6 to 3.2. Use the web installer or mount the ISO with VirtualCloneDrive <http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html>. Then, on a command prompt in the numpy source directory type (not tested, but should work for 64 bit Python 2.7): setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion call "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\SetEnv.Cmd" /Release /x64 /vista set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build Christoph _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
