ValueError: [u'path']

There error info is same as Issue7511 .
Here is info about my machine:
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2(64bit)

I have installed both VS2010 and VS2008 in my machine.But VS2010 intalled before VS2008.
Also. I can found vcvars64.bat at dir:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64, but i don't know why Python can't found it.

There is a temporarily way to avoid the error ,we can manual execute vcvars64.bat before intall python module, But I think it's a python bug.
