You don't; distutils does; if you use a Python 2.3 on Windows, its
distutils will use VC6 to compile C extensions; if you use a Python
2.4 on Windows, its distutils will use VC7.  It's all driven by which
Python you use to run setup.py.

Just run their installers.  They don't interfere with each other
(well, not unless you do something bizarre, like force the installers
to use the same installation directory -- accept the defaults and
there's no problem).
