Installation failed

[anonymous]

Attempting to install the ImageTracPlugin using easy_install via both the ZIP and SVN methods failed due to a missing vcvarsall.bat file while installing the PIL 1.1.6 dependency.

Note: On advice from someone who has previously installed many Trac plugins, the first two directory levels were removed from the zip prior to installation. However, as the SVN install also failed, I'm not convinced this had anything to do with the overall installation error.

The following output has been manually modified in an attempt to avoid being caught by the spam filtering that limits the number of external links that can be specified within a ticket.

Evidently the PIL egg pointed to doesn't work on windows. I don't have windows to debug. I recommend installing PIL however you do that on windows and try again. If problems persist, checkout and modify the setup.py file
