Are you following the instructions of the documentation?  Here is a
link to them:

My guess is that you would be just missing a PATH configuration or
such because python enforced a new setting?

Hmm.  We have buildfarm machines using the MSVC scripts and Python,
see for example woodloose.  And note that @ARGV would be normally
defined, so your warning looks fishy to me.
