I wanted to install apiaryio/drafter on windows. I installed python 2.7 and visuall studio 12 "Full version". It needed to add some folders to system path because of not finding some files like "mspdb110.dll". But the latest problem related to "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'" was not solved even by adding its address to system path.
How can I solve it?

Since version 1.4.0 Dredd doesn't need C++ compiler or anything like that during installation. I hope you can now install it on Windows without any problems!
At the same time, I need to warn you that Dredd's support for Windows is flaky. It's not officially supported platform yet, we don't run any tests on AppVeyor yet. It's planned, but we're not there yet. Some users reportedly use Dredd on Windows without any problems, some have issues. If you bump into any, please go to Dredd's GitHub repo and help us to at least track them, if not try to contribute a fix.
