I'm running pip install numpy on windows7 64bit and i'm getting error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
I've already installed some packages with pip, e.g. pyzmq,pysolr,enum,etc., so I really don't know what went wrong.
The only thing that might be different is that I've install .NET framework version 4.5 -> I suspect that could be the reason because in some posts I saw it might have to do with Visual Studio (That I didn't install)

When you see “unable to find vcvarsall.bat”, it means you’re installing a package that has an extension module, but only the source code. “vcvarsall.bat” is part of the compiler in Visual Studio that is necessary to compile the module. As a Windows user, you’re probably used to downloading programs that are ready to run.
The compiler package (though labelled for “Python 2.7”, it works for all of these versions) is detected by setuptools, and so pip install will use it when needed. However, if you are targeting Python 3.3 and 3.4 (and did not have access to Visual Studio 2010), building is slightly more complicated.
One of the most common errors you’ll see is this one: As far as errors go, “unable to find vcvarsall.bat” is not the most helpful. What is this mythical batch file? Why do I need it? Where can I get it? How do I help Python find it? When will we be freed from this pain? Let’s look at some answers to these questions.
If anyone gets cl.exe not found or somefile not found error while installing , just install the "Twisted" and "lxml" libraries from unofficial source and u can then easily install Scrapy from pip without errors . link: lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted Try installing this, it's a known workaround for enabling the C++ compiler for Python 2.7.
Maybe you want to use the prebuilt binaries here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy? Using pip likely wont yield any good results. The reason is that numpy doesn't compile with Visual Studio at all and needs to be built with gcc.
If you still really want to compile numpy, you need to setup a Linux machine with Vagrant and follow the official build instructions here: https://github.com/juliantaylor/numpy-vendor

Had the same problem on my 64-Bit Windows. The issue was resolved by installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7, which is described by Microsoft as:
This package contains the compiler and set of system headers necessary for producing binary wheels for Python packages. A binary wheel of a Python package can then be installed on any Windows system without requiring access to a C compiler.
The typical error message you will receive if you need this compiler package is Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
...
Works like a charm.

You need to download and install vcsetup.exe(Visual C++ 2008 express edition) file
And then add newly created vcvarsall.bat file path to "PATH" environment variable.
Make sure there are no special symbols in your PATH environment variable after adding
