It is convenient if Mathematica recognizes compiler installations, but not strictly necessary. You can set $CCompiler, as you did, and then use it.

Which version of Visual Studio did you install?

Did you try using it with this setting? > Regarding the Microsoft CCompiler, Iâ??m not sure what executable file is appropriate, I read somewhere that it should be cl.exe but I canâ??t find this file anywhere. As you can see I am not very familiar with this subject. Yes, cl.exe is the right executable. But you shouldn't need to specify that for Visual Studio. There is a known bug in Mathematica 8's CCompilerDriver when using non-latin characters in any of the file paths: compiler location, user home directory, or any explicitly provided file path. I wonder if that is part of your difficulties. --Joel Klein, Kernel Developer Wolfram Research
