Installed distribute instead of setuptools and that fixed the quirks during installation, but did not fix the problem when running the test.
This made sure pycuda was properly installed in the site-packages directory. I update my paths, and tried restricting the path for cl.exe to VC\bin\amd64 But I got this: Exec:Error: error invoking 'nvcc --cubin -arch sm_11 -IC:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pycudabeta-py2.6-win-amd64.egg\pycuda\..\include\pycuda kernel.cu': status -1 invoking 'nvcc --cubin -arch sm_11 -IC:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pycuda-0.94beta-py2.6-win-amd64.egg\pycuda\..\includde\pycuda kernel.cu': nvcc fatal : nvcc cannot find a supported cl version.

Quirk 1. Only got it to build once I built boost 1_39 64 bit from source due to weirdness of the precompiled installer from boostpro. Quirk 2. Received the following python setup.py install warnings despite a "successful" install of the egg-info: a. ImportError: <module setuptools.dist' from ... has no 'check_packages' attribute b. ***Error occurred in plausibility checking for path of CUDA toolkit c. C:\Python26\lib\distutils\dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires' warnings.warn(msg) Quirk 3. Post install the PyCuda C Headers did not get installed in a directory compiler.py recognized so I manually put the path to /src/cuda in _find_pycuda_include_path() in compiler.py in order to get things going. When running tests: I get the error when running test_driver.py in call_capture_output() in prefork.py line 196/line 53: ExecError:error invoking 'nvcc --cubin -arch sm_11 -IC:\pycuda\src\cuda kernel.cu': status -1 invoking 'nvcc -cubin -arch sm_11 -IC:\pycuda\src\cuda kernel.cu': nvcc faral : Visual Studio configuration file '(null)' could not be found for installation at 'C:Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin/../..'
