    How to install pyUSB?

    This seems like a pretty straight forward thing to do, but I just can't get pyUSB to install properly. I download the .gz file from SourceForge and run the normal "python setup.py install". I get this message:

    >python setup.py install

    running install
    running build
    running build_ext
    error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
    extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
    Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
    you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

    Can someone please help me with this problem? I've spent way too much time trying to get this to work. Thank you so much in advance. Robin

      I guess that you found the binaries for window(?) based on your other post.

          Yeah I got it to work after several days of agony. It was a stupid problem. I was using Python 2.5, and apparently the binary files don't work for the newest version. So as a last resort I tried to install Python 2.4 and it worked. Thanks for noticing I got it to work.
