Python Pip install Error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. Tried all solutions [duplicate]

After doing a lot of things, I upgraded pip, setuptools and virtualenv.

1. python -m pip install -U pip
2. pip install -U setuptools
3. pip install -U virtualenv

I did steps 1, 2 in my virtual environment as well as globally.Next, I installed the package through pip and it worked.

I have tried all suggestions and found my own simple solution.

The problem is that codes written in external environment like C need compiler. Look for its own VS environment, i.e. VS 2008.

Currently my machine runs VS 2012 and faces Unable to find vcvarsall.bat.I studied codes that i want to install to find the VS version. It was VS 2008. i have add to system variable VS90COMNTOOLS as variable name and gave the value of VS120COMNTOOLS.

You can find my step by step solution below:

1. Right click on My Computer.
2. Click Properties
3. Advanced system settings
4. Environment variables
5. Add New system variable
6. Enter VS90COMNTOOLS to the variable name
7. Enter the value of current version to the new variable.
8. Close all windows

Now open a new session and pip install your-package

Try installing this, it's a known workaround for enabling the C++ compiler for Python 2.7.

In my experience, when pip does not find vcvarsall.bat compiler, all I do is opening a Visual Studio console as it set the path variables to call vcvarsall.bat directly and then I run pip on this command line.
