Hello,

(I'm not sure if this should be asked here or SU.. but seeing this question on SO, I am asking it here...)

I have wamp (mysql-5.1.33) server setup on my vista machine, and I am trying to install python-mysql 1.2.3c1 to use the mysql version provided by wamp.

At first, when I ran python setup.py install, I got an error saying it couldn't find the location of the mysql's bin folder. Looking into setup_windows.py, I noticed it was looking for a registry key and so I added that registry entry and I think it is able to find it now.

But now, when I run python setup.py install, I get a different error saying Unable to find vcvarsall.bat.

Any help on installing this appreciated.

Here is the output of python setup.py install:

Thanks a lot!
