What he is saying is that you will need a ROS installation on a Linux Machine to copy from. When using ROS with Python you need the Msg definitions for python. These can only be generated on Linux right now. From http://www.ros.org/wiki/cturtle/Installation/Windows#Copying_generated_message_and_service_files : *You will need the auto-generated Python files for the messages and services you plan to use. The easiest way to do this is to compile your packages on a non-Windows setup, then copy these files over.* * * So you will need ROS on Linux to support your windows development. I suggest you read the instructions on that page again too, it all seems to be laid out. Also, if you are new to ROS I would not recommend starting with Windows development because it requires a pretty fundamental understanding of ROS to get working. Further more you are not going to be able to use python( from python.org) with Visual Studio, you would need to use IronPython, which isn't supported by ROS. If you want to use Visual Studio, you will need to program in C++ using REC's ROSwin32 located here: http://www.servicerobotics.eu/index.php?id=37.
