hi tiran, thanks for your suggest. :-) what can i do in the next? it's 
my pleasure to contribute my effort to python. 

It's seems that directory configurations of Visual Studio 2005/Visual C 
Express 2008 are stored in 
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application 
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VCComponents.dat
or
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application 
Data\Microsoft\VCExpress\9.0\VCComponents.dat
devenv.exe/VCExpress.exe must be run first, this file will be created 
automatically.

SCons has done some work on detecting msvc compiler. :-)

msi.py should extract msvcrxx.dll from *Merge Modules* or *redist* 
directory.
