Another way to get around the missing vcvarsall.bat is to install the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler for Python 2.7 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

when you get that error you might want to just find a Windows installer for it, it will include the missing file. http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/

here's an explanation of the error. http://slacy.com/blog/2010/09/python-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/

Try:

easy_install scrapy

This works for me without any error.
