cl.exe is just the "Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version
12.00.8168 for 80x86" (as said when typing cl.exe /?)
it's a compiler though... it could be helpful to build some program...

- try opening a MS-DOS command prompt and type cl.exe.
if it complains about not finding cl.exe, then it is not on your path.
- try finding it on your computer.
if you can't find it on your computer, it means you just don't have a
microsoft compiler installed...
else add the patyh to cl.exe in your PATH environment variable. btw, you can
do it in at the command prompt, but it will be only for this console until
you close it.

if cl.exe is on your computer and in the PATH, then try sending a more
complete log of nything that happens when you try setup.py.
