I'm afraid that if you don't know if you have a compiler, you don't have one. This also means you will not be able to compile Numpy, as the official compiler is no longer available.
Is this the VS 2008 Express Edition? I saw something posted a while ago about how it was no longer available, but I think it was a mistake as it still seems to be easily available from:
Would Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition have the C compiler? I know some visual basic and wouldn't mine having this limited version of 2008.
You need Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition. Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition is just a component of Visual Studio and does not have the C compiler. Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition is probably sufficient,
You mean it probably has the C compiler. If it does, I'd just as soon not install any more of VS. And if it does, does that mean that the setup.py in question would find it?
but I recommend getting the whole Visual Studio if you can afford the time and disk space.
Because you think VS is a good application -- quite apart from its being a source of a C compiler? Dick
