Using protocol buffer in Windows

Vote count:

I am trying to use google protocol buffer in windows with python binding, however I meet some problem during the install step.

Follow the instruction, I have to compile the PB myself using vs, but I have no vs installed on my machine, then I found a window binary at the download page.

Also I download the full source code package, then I put the protoc-2.5.0-win32.zip\protoc.exe to C:\windows\system32.

Then I go to the protobuf-2.5.0.zip\python and run the python setup.py install to install the python binding.

However I get the error like this:

And when I check the directory, the file google\protobuf\compiler does not exist.

What's the problem?

Is it possible to use it without compiling?
