My work around for this was to edit the distutils msvc9compiler.py file.
I commented out the line vcvarsall = find_vcvarsall(version) in the 
function query_vcvarsall and hard coded vcvarsall = r'C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat'.  This assumes that 
you've got a copy of Visual C++!:)

HTH.
