[issue7511] msvc9compiler.py: ValueError when trying to compile with VC Express

[Li Wah Teng]

Li Wah Teng added the comment:

About the "'KEY_BASE' is not defined" error in Steve Dower's diff, I was able to fix it by adding the following line before the KEY_BASE variable is referenced:

KEY_BASE = r"Software\Microsoft\\"

With this, I was finally able to use the patched msvccompiler9.py to build PyCrypto using VS Express 2010 with Windows SDK 7.1 and Python 3.3.2 (64-bit) installed.

If someone can confirm that this is the only thing missing in the 2 versions of the msvccompiler9.diff files, it would be great.

Hope it helps!
