problem installing PIL

[NENAD CIKIC]

I came across this problem (the problem is that i can not install PIL on my windows 7 64 bit machine) when I have tried to use ImageField. I have first tried to use C++ Express but I came across http://bugs.python.org/issue7511. Then I have tried to use mingw and cygwin but the gcc complied about some parameters the setup was passing.
I know I can use just the Filefield, and i will do it; I am now just curious how can i install this PIL on windows machine?
I have also tried the pillow, but it blocks with the same issue. Is there an alternative, since I have noticed the last release is from 2 years ago, but then again from django docs it says I should have it if i want to use ImageField?

Thanks
