Now for an even dumber question.... I did some further digging into this, and decided to try installing Visual Studio 2010 Express. I did so, tried again. Same error. so, I tried just running vcvarsall.bat from the commandline in that folder and several other folders. No joy, so I figure it's a path issue. Easy to fix, I hunt down vcvarsall.bat, add the folder it's in to the path (I've added stuff to the path before, it's nothing terribly special....), still no joy. I can execute vcvarsall.bat from inside the virtualenv by just typing the command into the CLI now, so I know it's added properly in the path. But when I try to run the command I listed above, it errors out same as before. Has anybody else encountered this before?
