These components use C++ behind the scenes for improved performance, so require a compiler. I managed to get them to install with pip
on Windows 10 by installing the Visual C++ build tools from here: http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
But this isn't really an ideal situation. I think a better solution for Windows support is to use Anaconda, because it uses binary packages for each platform. I will need to put together a ChemDataExtractor conda recipe, but then conda install ChemDataExtractor
should work without a compiler.
Slight problem in that it is looking for it in a win-64 directory when trying to install via Anaconda.

The .condarc file points to:
Yeah sorry, I haven't made the conda recipe yet. I'll post here when it's done.
Thanks again. I'm looking forward to testing it on some metabolism/metabolomics papers hence the constant barrage of questions (testing/getting it up an running).
Windows packages are now available on the chemdataextractor
conda channel. There should be no need to add anything to your .condarc
file, just run conda install -c chemdataextractor chemdataextractor
DAWG doesn't seem to install and there is a problem with lxml.
