It seems that the directory information of MSVC8 *just* can be got from 
environment variable instead of registry. 

This patch make me compile pywin32 with MSVC8(VS 2005).

I've checked your patch. It's not enough to move to VS 2005 as the
default compiler. People expect python setup.py to work w/o opening a VS
2005 Command Prompt.

tiran is correct. distutils should work without having to invoke a VS
build environment. Relying on that environment would have worked way
back to VC6 and earlier, but it would reduce the ease of use of distutils.

Rejecting the patch.
