Nobody seems to have responded to this (or I haven't seen it), but it
looks like your system can't extract gzip files. Suggestions found on
other fora (at the opposite end of a Google search) point to possibly
using pip instead of easy_install; alternatively, you may be able to
install a Windows gzip utility, though I don't know anything about
linking that up with easy_install.

Sorry I can't be of more help! But maybe bumping this thread will
bring it to someone's attention who actually knows.
