I played a lot with Visual Studio Express. It's difficult to find it on the website, the installer download more than 400 MB, it installs a .NET framework, etc. More annoying point: Visual Studio Express cannot compile in 64-bit mode, it's limited to 32-bit. It's much easier to install the Windows SDK: it includes a C compiler, it's easy to find it, it supports 64-bit, it's enough to compile Python extensions.
