Difficulty installing Gensim using from source and pip

I am trying to install Gensim which I downloaded from this site. The installation using pip is also not working for me. I am getting the error below.

I have seen the same question in stackoverflow. I also did what was mentioned in this question. I have installed Microsoft c++ compiler for python 2.7. Is there any windows binary for Gensim? How can I install it.

In my opinion the easiest way to get gensim configured on my windows machine was to download portable python from here then open up command prompt to the directory of PortablePython/App/Scripts and then easy_install.exe gensim

download VCForPython27,find the file :'C:/Users/Forward(ur username)/AppData/Local/Programs/Common/Microsoft/Visual C++ for Python/9.0/vcvarsall.bat'

find this file msvc9compiler.py in c:/python27(ur dir)/Lib/distutils,get this function and change the function as follows,directly point to this file!

def find_vcvarsall(version):

"""Find the vcvarsall.bat file

At first it tries to find the productdir of VS 2008 in the registry. If
that fails it falls back to the VS90COMNTOOLS env var.
"""

vcvarsall = 'C:/Users/Forward(ur username)/AppData/Local/Programs/Common/Microsoft/Visual C++ for Python/9.0/vcvarsall.bat'
if os.path.isfile(vcvarsall):
    return vcvarsall
log.debug("Unable to find vcvarsall.bat")
return None
