C:\Python24\installPackages\rdflib-2.3.3>c:\Python24\python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building extensions for Python.
The thing is I installed the .NET Framework SDK and it still returns this message. 
What else is missing?

I found an Alternate Solution by configuring MingW
Task:
 RDFLib installation
Problem:    
 error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
 extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
 Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed,
 you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. 
Solution:
 How to Configure Mingw:
	* Download last release from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw  (MinGW-5.1.3.exe)
	* Run the file to start the installation process
	* Keep all values at their defaults and select at least next components:
          	o MinGW base tools
          	o g++ compiler
          	o MinGW Make 
	* Add the C:\mingw\bin directory to the system PATH
	* Create (or edit) a .cfg file for distutils (distutils.cfg) eg: C:\Python25\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg with this content:
		[build]
  		compiler=mingw32
Then type in your RDFlib directory> python setup.py install 
creating C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\rdflib\store
copying build\lib.win32-2.5\rdflib\store\AbstractSQLStore.py -> C:\Python25\Lib\
site-packages\rdflib\store
copying build\lib.win32-2.5\rdflib\store\AuditableStorage.py -> C:\Python25\Lib\
site-packages\rdflib\store
copying build\lib.win32-2.5\rdflib\store\Concurrent.py -> C:\Python25\Lib\site-p
ackages\rdflib\store
....
....
....
Writing C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\rdflib-2.3.3-py2.5.egg-info
Thats it Good Luck!

I found similar issues , I use Python 2.5:
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'rdflib.sparql.bison.SPARQLParserc' extension
error: Python was built with Visual Studio version 7.1, and extensions need to b
e built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.
