[Distutils] problems building extension for Python2.6 using Visual Studio 2008

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

I'm using:

Python 2.6.5
Visual Studio 2008

I'm trying to compile a package (Twisted, as it happens) for Python 2.6 
but having no joy:

"""
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin>w:

W:\>cd Twisted-10.0.0

W:\Twisted-10.0.0>c:\Python26\python.exe setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
"""

What am I doing wrong?

cheers,

Chris
