Once you have installed Visual C++ ... , you can verify that vcvarsall.bat
is in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\

Note also that you need to use the same compiler version as the one that was used to compile octave itself. So if you installed octave compiled with VC++ 2010, you need to use the Visual C++ 2010 compiler. It's possible that you will be able to compile with Visual C++ 2008, but you may have problems at runtime, as the oct-file and octave will use different runtime DLL's.
