I use mwph on windows. All you need to do is set the use c library flag to false.

Check the internet (Stack Overflow) and see that it means that the setup

Check the internet for a download for Visual Studio

Say blergh and give up
I think this is because we specify 'mwparserfromhell' as a dependency in our setup.py. <https://github.com/earwig/mwparserfromhell#installation> has a workaround, but I'm not sure if we can change that from our setup.py. There's an issue open about distributing Windows binaries with the C modules already built (<https://github.com/earwig/mwparserfromhell/issues/68>), but it looks stalled since Earwig doesn't use Windows.
Anyways I filed bug 66010 for this. I think for now we shouldn't specify the dependency for Windows users since usage of mwparserfromhell is optional.
