Hi all,

I'm trying to migrate an existing Plone project to the Windows Server 2012 
R2 platform.
Plone version is 4.1.6 and it needs lxml >= 3.2.3.
I installed the preconfigured standards windows installer vom Enfold 
Systems and edited buildout.cfg according to my preferences. 
Now whenever I run buildout, I get the error 'Setup script exited with 
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat' as soon as buildout tries to build 
lxml.

AFAIK, vcvarsall.bat has to do with the choice of compiler on the platform. 
Python however seems to be built with Virtual C++ 9.0 (since there's a 
Microsoft.VC90.CRT.Manifest file in the python directory of my instance), 
but that doesn't necessarily mean that VC90 is installed, right?

(Windows isn't my platform *at all*, and last time I had a similar issue I 
ended up installing cygwin and running everything there which I want to 
avoid this time.)

What is the recommended way to install lxml on the Windows platform, and 
where is it documented? Any input is appreciated, 
TIA,
Christoph
