Mark,
The problem is that the steps are not in the readme.txt for the
building Python for Windows. The python.exe might work from the
Win32Release directory where it is compiled. But I would like to have it
create the distuils directory, and other python packages that are
normally part of a python distribution. Another person pointed out
Tools/Msi and I will look in that directory.

I have looked and looked and looked. But I can not find any directions
on how to install the version of Python build using Microsoft's
compiler. It builds. I get the dlls and the exe's. But there is no
documentation that says how to install what has been built. I have
read every readme and stop by the IRC channel and there seems to be
nothing.
Although you asked about 'installing', you should find that the Python
you built works fine from where it is, and adding packages to your
site-packages directory will work as you expect. With the addition of
an 'InstallPath' registry entry pointing at your directory, other .exe
installer packages created by distutils will also install correctly.
Hope this helps,
Mark
