I have used numpy and installed it with pip quite often in the past. Never experienced any trouble.
However currently I seem to be unable to install numpy. First it claimed that I didn't have a visual studio runtime - so I went ahead and downloaded the current visual studio community edition.
However this gave again a similar problem, after a long error it ends with:
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
Testing python version information results
3.5.0 (v3.5.0:374f501f4567, Sep 13 2015, 02:16:59) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)]
[EDIT: NEW VERSION TEST]:
3.5.0 (v3.5.0:374f501f4567, Sep 13 2015, 02:27:37) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]
My computer runs a near clean version of windows 8.1 (64 bit). (About a week old)
I downloaded "just" the community 2015 version of visual studio (How do I test/get the correct C compiler from microsoft?) - Is this the problem?

I see many (years old) posts about this problem but they typically talked about setuptools or python 2.x. And they often link to older versions of visual studio - I'd like to not install multiple versions of studio unless it's a necessity.
And community edition installs the MSC 1900 right? - Can I test that?
edit: Also tested now with the 64 bit version of python (why does it default to 32bit?). - "Same" error.
