Indeed I do:

   ...
   File "c:\python26\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 436, in compile
     self.initialize()
   File "c:\python26\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 347, in 
initialize
     vc_env = query_vcvarsall(VERSION, plat_spec)
   File "c:\python26\lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 239, in 
query_vcvarsall
     raise IOError("Unable to find vcvarsall.bat")

Oops.  Guess that's what you get for having too many Windows development 
boxes ;-)

(a nicer error message in non-debug mode would be a good thing, I think.)

PS. Can any resident Microsoft compiler expert perhaps summarize the 
differences between the Express Edition and the "real" editions wrt. 
generated code?  Are there any differences at all?
