[issue7511] msvc9compiler.py: ValueError when trying to compile with VC Express

[Takayuki SHIMIZUKAWA]

Takayuki SHIMIZUKAWA added the comment:

FYI. I was able to build both 32bit/64bit.

Python 2.7.3 (32bit)
WinXP Professional SP3 (x86)
Visual Studio C++ Express 2008 SP1
Microsoft Windows SDK 2008

invoke Windows SDK's `CMD Shell` and do following:

C:\tmp> setenv /x64 /release
C:\tmp> set libpath=dummy
C:\tmp> python setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64 build_ext --library_dirs=C:\Python27\libs-amd64

details is here: http://www.freia.jp/taka/blog/python-win32-binary-building-and-x64-cross-compiling-on-32bit-platform/index.html
