LXML failed to install on Plone 4.3 64-bit (MS Windows)

Been asked to update my answer in correct format - Question then Answer.

running build_py
creating build
creating build\lib.win-amd64-2.7
creating build\lib.win-amd64-2.7\lxml
copying src\lxml\builder.py -> build\lib.win-amd64-2.7\lxml

then generates

running build_ext
building 'lxml.etree' extension
**error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat**
An error occurred when trying to install lxml 2.3.6. Look above this message for
 any errors that were output by easy_install.
While:

How do I get LXML working with Plone 4.3 64-bit

Buildout failed with false/positive pointing to and asking for vcvarsall.bat

With thanks for original posting by Didakus - Sep 08, 2010 re: LDAP

Found some help in the Plone chat room. Here's what I did to get LXML working.

  1. Install Python (v 2.7.4) on drive C:\
  2. Install lxml-3.2.1.win-amd64-py2.7 (C:\Python27\lib\site-packages)
  3. Install/Have Installed Plone 4.3 with the installer (C:\Plone43)
  4. Edit buildout.cfg and pin [ver] lxml = 3.2.1
  5. Create a new folder called lxml.3.2.1-py2.7.egg in C:\Plone43\eggs\
  6. Copy C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\lxml-3.2.1-py2.7.egg-info to C:\Plone43\eggs\lxml-3.2.1-py2.7.egg\ and rename to EGG-INFO
  7. Also copy the lxml folder in C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ to C:\Plone43\eggs\lxml-3.2.1-py2.7.egg\
  8. Next copy: folder: C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\lxml-3.2.1-py2.7.egg-info folder: C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\lxml to C:\Plone43\python\Lib\site-packages
  9. Start commandbox and run bin\buildout

It compiles for me.
