This was raised in issue #23246 but apparently not addressed at the time.

The Visual C for Python 2.7 tools on my MS Windows 8.1 system installed themselves under the invisible AppData directory because I did not do so as Administrator. Running setup.py to build a (2.7) native extension then fails because it can't find VCVERSALL.BAT.

Fix is a couple of extra lines in find_vcvarsall in msvc9compiler.py to search under AppData if it can't be found in the system location. I will submit a pull request.
