Installing Thunder in Windows 7

Hi, folks, I tried to install Thunder in Anaconda on Windows 7, using pip install thunder-python. It asked to install Visual C++ for Python, which I did. Still, installation fails with the following errors:

Is there any fix or workaround for it? Thanks!

Thanks for @boazmohar , here is a fix: download and unzip missing header files into C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\include folder and then run pip install thunder-python. Thunder installs well!
