c++ - 32 bit python on 64 bit windows machine -

i've downloaded pythonxy (2.7.6.1) on new 64 bit windows machine (windows 7 enterprise, sp1). when seek run python, error saying side-by-side configuration incorrect. winpython 32 bit (2.7.6.3) shows same behavior, winpython 64 bit fine.

however, badly need compile python modules boost , found myself taking first few steps believe searching-the-internet/configuration/compilation hell 64 bit, i'd rather seek create 32-bit python work, have whole mingw procedure set , working. know need in order prepare side-by-side error? install redristributable bundle or that?

from event log message, looks wants newer version of vc90 c-runtime. 2 options:

the installer may have installed newer redistributable, reboot may still required finish process.

try installing latest c-runtime distributable yourself: microsoft visual c++ 2008 sp1 redistributable bundle (x86).
