Since there seems to be no response to this, let me try (even though I
am not on windows)
Just point your browser at the link
http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
And save the file ez_setup.py

The more windows-y way of running this is to right-click this and edit
the run-with in some way that I dont have at my finger-tips.

The more old-fashioned way is to start a dos-box (run cmd.exe)
navigate to the directory where the ez_setup.py is saved
from there run the command:
python ez_setup.py

Do that and report back on what happened
