When I try running setup.py on my machine I get the following error:

(dotnettest) c:\work\git\pythonnet>python setup.py bdist_wheel
running bdist_wheel
running build
running build_ext
All packages listed in packages.config are already installed.

RuntimeError: mt.exe could not be found

Apparently it can't find mt.exe. I have VS2012 installed and mt.exe does exist on my system.
