when i try to easy_install ReviewBoard, it throws error as below , but i do not have Visual Studio 2003 on my machine. 

Running pycrypto-2.4\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir c:\docume~1\hongshen\local
s~1\temp\easy_install-zus62l\pycrypto-2.4\egg-dist-tmp-bcinf2
error: Setup script exited with error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;

extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

Try using mingw, as the error says. Note that we really recommend using a linux server, rather than windows.
