Summary: error: command 'mc.exe' failed: No such file or directory
Initial Comment:
I am trying to install pywin32-214 on Win7-64bit. I installed Visual C++ 2008 (Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Version 9.0.30729.1 SP, Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1)
Installation fails with this message:
---
python.exe setup.py install
...
building 'perfmondata' extension
creating build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\win32\src\perfmon
mc.exe -h win32\src\perfmon -r build\temp.win32-2.7\Relea
n32\src\perfmon\PyPerfMsgs.mc
error: command 'mc.exe' failed: No such file or directory
---
Now I read that VC++ 2008 does not contain mc.exe.
I am also puzzled that installing pywin32 causes it to be "built". Doesn't it come pre-built? Am I missing something?
What did I do wrong?

Message:
Are you using the free edition of VS2008? If so, you are correct that it
doesn't include mc.exe, but we do need it, meaning the free version isn't
suitable for building pywin32. Please re-open if I've misunderstood.

Meanwhile, I discovered the windows installers and was able to install
pywin32 this way successfully.
