[issue2943] Distutils should generate a better error message when the SDK is not installed

[Ivan Pozdeev]

Ivan Pozdeev added the comment:

The vsvarsall.bat message should direct to https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers rather than some 3rd-party site (even more so, one with user-generated content like SO).

E.g.: "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. A required version of MS VC++ compilers is not installed or used improperly. See https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers for instructions."
