Which version?  Python 3.3 requires Visual C++ 2010 (10.0).

> the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VCExpress\9.0\Setup\VC\ProductDir

This looks like Visual C++ 2008 (9.0).

I would have to guess that you've got the wrong version of Visual C++.
 You can install both 2008 and 2010 in parallel, if you need 2008 for
something else.

Hope this helps,

PS: In the future, it is very helpful to say which OS you're using
since Python is usable on so many different platforms.  In this case
it's pretty obvious that you're using Windows, but there are still
differences between Windows versions that mean knowing the version
makes support easier.

As "you've got the wrong version of Visual C++" isn't easily deduced 
from "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat", would it be worth raising an issue 
on the bug tracker to get the message changed?

Only if that message comes from something distributed with CPython, 
rather than from Microsoft.
