Hello, I have a python installation that I built myself using Visual Studio 2005. I need this version because I need to link Python bindings to a 3rd party library that uses VS 2005.
I want to get setuptools installed to this Python installation but the installer won't find my version of Python even if it is on the PATH and PYTHONHOME is set. So, I am trying to build setuptools but when I run "python setup.py install" I get the following error. Any ideas either on how to get the installer to find my installation or on how to get this to compile?
