I have the M$ Platform SDK installed, which 
is a free (as don't pay) alternative to

distutils/msvc9compiler.py: 

Best regards
Marc 

Patch draft:

def find_vcvarsall(version):
       
+   vcvarsall = os.path.join(productdir+"\\bin", "vcvars32.bat")
-   vcvarsall = os.path.join(productdir, "vcvarall.bat")

 
   if os.path.isfile(vcvarsall):
