Answer 1

Second option worked for me.

a. After installing, when you using easy_install in vista, do so as administrator. (Right click on your command line shortcut and click "run as administrator"). I had trouble trying to run easy_install without doing that.

b. He means use ez_setup from setuptools-0.6c9.tar.gz
