If everything else fails you can try to install numpy manually: the file numpy-1.3.0-sse3.exe, which is created in the %TEMP% directory during the numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe installation, is a executable ZIP file and can be opened with any decent archive program, e.g. WinRAR. From numpy-1.3.0-sse3.exe copy PLATLIB\numpy\* to C:\Python26\sitepackages\numpy\ and SCRIPTS\* to C:\Python26\Scripts\. Unlike many other packages, Numpy does not need to have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package installed to work. To avoid the problem, numpy-1.3.0-sse3.exe could probably be linked statically to MSVCRT9 like the bdist_wininst installers created by Python distutils.
