Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Windows Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Zooko O'Whielacronx (zooko) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: error message incorrectly claims Visual C++ is required Initial Comment: Thank you for the excellent distutils tool! Two problems: First, this error message is emitted on win32, but it appears to be incorrect, inasmuch as the Microsoft compiler is not actually required: """ error: Python was built with version 7.1 of Visual Studio, and extensions need to be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed. Error: Subprocess exited with result 1 for project core """ Second, the usage of distutils is somewhat confusing, as the following line emits that error message: ./setup.py build -c mingw32; ./setup.py install but the following line, which I intuitively believed to be equivalent at first, works to compile and install the package: ./setup.py build -c mingw32 install ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

Progress! Now it no longer spuriously claims that Visual C++ is required for building extensions for Python, and instead it spuriously claims that the .NET SDK is required for building extensions for Python! """ error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building extensions for Python.
