Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

[kokayi-ck]

While isntalling under Windows 7 with Python 2.7 (numpy installed), I got the following error:

running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'ids_core' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

Any hint how to proceed?

Thank you.

Reading this article this is due to you missing a component of the Microsoft Visual Studio C/C++ compiler. Downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 should fix the issue.

The other solution would be for us to provide build wheels, but given this project is currently unmaintained (#22) and that we don't officially support Windows, I am unlikely to work on this. Once this project has new maintainers, they should be able to help.
