[C++-sig] setup.py denies VS6 installed

[Gary Robinson]

Hi,

I have installed Visual Studio 6 on my XP box.

I'm trying to build an extension with setup.py. 

When I enter

    python setup.py build

at the command prompt, it says:

    error: Python was built with Version 6 of Visual Studio, 
    and extensions need to be built with the same version 
    of the compiler, but it isn't installed.

As I said, it IS installed -- at least in the sense that I can bring up 
Visual Studio 6 from the Start menu. Also, the path variable contains  
Visual Studio stuff which I assume was put there by the installer.


Any ideas for how I can get setup.py builds working on my machine?

Thanks,
Gary
