I installed this and it still doesn't work. Just spent an hour researching it, and I've got to tell you, I can't believe we let ourselves into this situation. It's really bad. The code in distutils/msvc9compiler.py insists that even if you set the env var VS90COMNTOOLS to point to your installation, it still has to be in a subdirectory called "VC", which the the Microsoft bundle doesn't do. "vcvarsall.bat" winds up in "~/AppData/Local/Programs/Common/Microsoft/Visual C++ for Python/9.0/vcvarsall.bat". And the Microsoft bundle doesn't set any of the registry keys msvc9compiler.py looks for, so it can't find it that way. I went down into the installed VC, copied vcvarsall.bat to be where msvc9compiler.py wanted to find it, set the env var, and finally got it. This is nasty.
