python for windows extensions_尝试安装Python for Windows扩展时出现值错误

I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 installed already. I downloaded the zip file Python for Windows extensions and extracted the contents into my Python27 folder. There's now a subfolder called pywin32-214. (Is the 32 part a problem? I'm on a 64-bit system.) Here's a transcript from the command line:

C:\Python27\pywin32-214>setup.py -q install

Building pywin32 2.7.214.0

Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't know what to make of this. Help?

If you have a 64 bit Python installation:

Install "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition" with the "X64 Compiler and Tools" option enabled.
