Ah, so that's just the error that `python setup.py build` would have returned,
it's not specific to conda-build.
As for what version you need, that's where things get fun:
- Python 2.7 = Visual Studio 2008
- Python 3.0->3.4 = Visual Studio 2010
- Python 3.5+ = Visual Studio 2015
For 2.7, Microsoft released this handy little bundle (thanks Steve Dower!):

I've been lucky enough to always have MSDN subscriptions and full VS
installations so I'm not sure how your mileage will fair with the
community/free editions. You could sign up for an AppVeyor or Anaconda account
if procuring VS proves problematic.

Hmmm, I'm getting an error message from 'conda build':
Warning: Couldn't find Visual Studio: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common
Files\\Microsoft\\Vi...'
So I guess installing conda-build doesn't do everything it needs to?
How would I know which version of Visual Studio to install, and where to find
it?
