The link to Visual Studio 2008 in the devguide doesn't seem to work: http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#windows https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions/express This seems to be a better link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14597 |

It might also be good to say that "vcsetup.exe" is the file you're supposed to download (as opposed to, say, "vcssetup.exe"). Strangely, the files aren't labeled, and they're listed in a different order from the text below. |

Meh, MS likes to invalidate or alter the meaning of an URL. Have you verified that vcsetup.exe is the right thing? I *guess* that vcsetup stands for "Visual C++ setup" and vcssetup for "Visual C Sharp Setup" but I'm not sure about it. |

> Have you verified that vcsetup.exe is the right thing? I *guess* that vcsetup stands for "Visual C++ setup" and vcssetup for "Visual C Sharp Setup" but I'm not sure about it. Yes, after choosing wrong the first time (based partly on the ordering relative to the accompanying text). And yes, your guess is correct. Incidentally, it was also odd that the VS executable wasn't obvious to locate. After installing, only the "VS 2008 Remote Debugger" showed up in the Start menu. The VS executable I found only in "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VCExpress.exe" and not in the "Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition..." folder. |

> Incidentally, it was also odd that the VS executable wasn't obvious to locate. Scratch this last comment. A "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition" folder was created under the Start menu. It just wasn't highlighted as having been newly added, as was a separate "Visual Studio 2008" folder (which contained just the Remote Debugger application). |
