[Tutor] Error installing review board on windows

[vishwajeet singh]

Hi List,

I am trying to install review board on windows. It fails saying it could not
build PIL 1.1.6 because visual studio was not found on the system and but I
have already installed the PIL 1.1.6 using binaries available on the site
but review board fails to locate it and every time tries to download the PIL
and fails while building the same.

error shown below
*error: Setup script exited with error: Python was built with Visual Studio
2003;*
*extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible
binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin
installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

*I tried to build the PIL from source using cygwin but that also failed with
following error
* `_imp___Py_NoneStruct'
build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\path.o:path.c:(.text+0xa93): undefined

 `_imp___Py_NoneStruct'

Kindly help
