I'm getting the error as per title (more details in another post recently).

However I'm wondering if cython is looking for it in the wrong place and wondering how I can check the path cython is using?

Cython uses distutils/setuptools to compile. You can add some breakpoints in msvccompiler.py in distutils or msvc.py in setuptools. Hint: it probes the registry or uses environment variables.
