+
This installation is for 32bit systems, for 64bit windows you might need
- to download proper 64bit version of "Windows Installer" and Win32py
- extensions
+ to download proper 64bit versions of the different packages(Windows Installer, Win32py extensions)
+ plus some extra tweaks.
+ These extra steps haven been marked as "64bit".
+ Tested on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, 9-feb-2013.
+ If you run into any 64bit related problems, please check these pages:

Step1 - Install Visual Studio 2008 Express
------------------------------------------
-
-Optional: You can also install MingW, but VS2008 installation is easier
-Download "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1" from:
-http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions/express
-(if not found or relocated, google for "visual studio 2008 express" for

+
+You can also download full ISO file for offline installation, just
+choose "All - Offline Install ISO image file" in the previous page and
+choose "Visual C++ 2008 Express" when installing.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Using other versions of Visual Studio will lead to random crashes.
+ You must use Visual Studio 2008!"
-You can also download full ISO file for offline installation, just

+.. note::
+ Silverlight Runtime and SQL Server 2008 Express Edition are not
+ required, you can uncheck them
.. note::
+
+ 64bit: You also need to install the Microsoft Windows SDK for .NET 3.5 SP1 (.NET 4.0 won't work).
+ Download from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3138
- Silverlight Runtime and SQL Server 2008 Express Edition are not
- required, you can uncheck them
+.. note::
+
+ 64bit: You also need to copy and rename a .bat file to make the Visual C++ compiler work.
+ I am not sure why this is not necessary for 32bit.
+ Copy C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars64.bat to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvarsamd64.bat
Step2 - Install Python
----------------------
Install Python 2.x.y (x >= 5) x86 version (32bit). DO NOT USE A 3.x version.
-Download Python 2.x.y from:
-http://www.python.org/download/
+Download Python 2.x.y from:
+http://www.python.org/download/
+
+Choose "Windows Installer" (32bit version) not "Windows X86-64
+Installer". While writing this guide, the latest version was v2.7.3.
+Remember the specific major and minor version installed, because it will
+be needed in the next step. In this case, it is "2.7".
-Choose "Windows Installer" (32bit version) not "Windows X86-64

+.. note::
+ 64bit: Just download and install the 64bit version of python.
Step3 - Install Win32py extensions
----------------------------------
-
-Download pywin32 from:
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/
-- Click on "pywin32" folder
-- Click on the first folder (in this case, Build 217, maybe newer when you try)
-- Choose the file ending with ".win32-py2.x.exe" -> x being the minor
- version of Python you installed (in this case, 7)
- When writing this guide, the file was:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20217/pywin32-217.win32-py2.7.exe/download
