I tried to install QuickFix using pip install quickfix as suggested on their site.
However, during installation I get the error:
C++\Acceptor.cpp(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdafx.h': No such file or directory
As far as I understand stdafx.h is a precompiled C++ header. So where can I get my hands on this file and how can I tell pip where to find it?
The full pip log is given below for reference:

I never could figure out this problem. Instead I went here and downloaded it. Should work for you too.
