Thank you for your suggestions. Here are my responses:
1. Visual C++ seemed to be running fine: I could already build straightforward C and C++ code. Nevertheless, I ran vcvars32.bat as almut suggested, and there were no complaints.
2. And here is the output from set, which was requested by mwa:

3. And finally, I was able to locate and install the Win32 versions of the modules Rob suggested.

Other than waiting for any suggestions based on the output from set, I will charge ahead.
Thanks again,
