MSVC 2015 Express doesn't include the 64-bit compiler [1], and this causes distutils to fail to load proper compiler settings when using a 64-bit machine to compile extensions for 64-bit python. _msvccompiler.py tries to call "vcvarsall.bat amd64", but the VC\bin\amd64 directory contains only one file "vcmeta.dll".
