setup.py is trying to be clever and show a countdown from 10 seconds to zero in order to give you time to read an important message. Unfortunately the trick does not work on Windows; that's why you are getting this error message. Run python setup.py install --no-wait and the error should go away.

On the other hand, since you are compiling on Windows, you are probably better off with using the pre-compiled packages from this page instead. Otherwise you would also need a working C compiler in order to get things done.
