Problem installing Cython

I got Cython 0.15 and tried to install it like this:

I get this:

 running install running build running build_py running build_ext building 'Cython.Plex.Scanners' extension error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat 

What does it mean? I have a Micorsoft Visual Studio 2008 and a Windows SDK. Using Windows 7, python 2.6

I do not have a direct answer to your question, but I highly recommend giving this ready-made Cython package a try.
