Doesn't install on Win32

First it couldn't find cl.exe, and when I installed it with VC++ Express Edition, I got this:

D:\my_dir>gem install looksee
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing looksee:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

that 'MSC version unmatch', looks like I need VC6 to compile the gem (and VC6 has no free version, bummer)

Closing stale issues...

Sounds like you resolved this. I confess I never got around to trying to build it on Windows, but I imagine that if you have the same compiler available that your ruby was compiled with, it would work just fine.

If this is not the case, please open a new ticket and I'll look into it (in a far more timely manner, I promise).
