[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and execute Win32 installer
2.
3.

What is the expected output?
Installer asking to Python install directory when regkey search fails.
I've tried to compile but I get "vcvarsall.bat" error instead (I can't install 
Visual, I don't have or I don't want - suppose it's a Portable configuration - 
admin rights).

What do you see instead?
Install process blocked on Python system data screen without option to set your 
own Python install directory.

What version of psutil are you using? What Python version?
Python-2.7 (Pypy modified) / psutil-0.4.1

On what operating system? Is it 32bit or 64bit version?
Windows 7 32b

Please provide any additional information below.

If you want to compile psutil you need a compiler, either VS or mingw32.
With mingw32 try:

C:\pypy-instalation\pypy.exe setup.py build -c mingw32 install

That should work.

Ok. I'll try to install MinGW.
Thanks.

Fortunately, minGW doesn't require admin rights to install.

Closing this out. 
Please next time use the ml rather then the issue tracker.
