[zeromq-dev] What's the easiest way to install PyZMQ on a Windows box running Python 2.5?

I've installed PyZMQ on a Windows box running Python 2.7 using the MSI
installers available on ZeroMQ's GitHub page. Works perfectly. I also
understand that PyZMQ version 2.1.11 was the last version to support Python
2.5. However, I don't see an MSI installer for version 2.1.11 for Python
2.5... only 2.6 and 2.7. Does such an installer exist somewhere else?

I do not have the ability to build ZeroMQ on the Windows box I need to
install it on, nor do I have the option of using a newer version of Python,
so I'm really hoping an MSI installer already exists for version 2.1.11 on
Python 2.5. If not, are there Windows installers available for ZeroMQ only,
such that I can install PyZMQ 2.1.11 from source after installing the
ZeroMQ DLLs?j

==== UPDATE #1 ====

So I found a Windows installer for ZeroMQ at
http://zeromq.org/distro%3amicrosoft-windows, installed it, and then tried
installing pyzmq 2.1.11 from source using python setup.py install. However,
this still did not work since it requires the same compiler that built the
version of Python I'm running to build the ZeroMQ extensions (which I do
not have available to me).

==== UPDATE #2 ====

I was able to get access to the same compiler that was used to build the
version of Python I'm using (Visual Studio .NET 2003, which internally is
Visual Studio v7.1). However, none of the pre-compiled libzmq DLLs for
Windows available in the installer I mentioned above in Update #1 were
built with Visual Studio 2003, so I now need to compile ZeroMQ from source
as well. However, the Visual Studio Solutions provided with ZeroMQ are for
2008 and 2010, so I tried creating a solution from scratch using 2003. I'm
now getting a build error having to do with intrin.h not being present.
Does anyone know if Visual Studio 2003 has support for intrinsics? Is it
even possible to build ZeroMQ 3 with Visual Studio 2003?
