Installing Eric4 on Windows 7, 32 Bit; using MS VS C++ 2010
After much ado and trial-and-error I was able to get it installed, via the following steps:

Command-prompt run as administrator in all cases
All packages installed in the root of C:\
After changing each environment variable, update command-prompt window (i.e. relaunch)

  1. Install Python 2.7.3
  2. Update environment PATH, appending: ";C:\Python27\"
  3. Update environment PYTHONHOME, set to: "C:\Python27\"
  4. Install QT 4.8.3: Licensed version
  5. Install SIP 4.14: cd \sip*, python configure.py, nmake, nmake install
  6. Install PyQt 4.9.5: cd \pyqt*, python configure.py, nmake, nmake install
  7. Install QScintilla2 2.6.2: cd \QSci*\Qt4Qt5, qmake qscintilla.pro, nmake
  8. Install Designer: cd \QSCi*\designer-Qt4, qmake designer.pro, nmake, nmake install
  9. Install Python Wrapper: cd \QSci*\Python, python configure.py, nmake, nmake install
  10. Update environment QTDIR, set to: "\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8.1\msvc2010"
  11. Copy DLL: copy %QTDIR%\lib\qscintilla2.dll %QTDIR%\bin
