It all started with "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" But I fixed it pretty quickly. After that I cannot fix some "error 2".

Already tried instructions here and here:

  • Installed Visual C++ compiler Python 2.7
  • Installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition SP1
  • Installed Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
  • manipulated vcvarsall.bat and vsvars64

But still cannot install pyethash, PyYAML, scrypt. Details for pyethash are below.

Tried to install Crypto, which uses C++ libraries as well - and it works. Does it still looks like I have problems with compilers or should I look somewhere else?

Using windows 8.1 x64, python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:40:30) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]
