I looked through distutils-sig/ . There were many finding the problem. There is a solution using Setuptools 2.7 bdist_wininst - http://groups.google.com/group/distutils-sig/browse_thread/thread/6107d5c9044c3f37/4d1a53f9e8fb7d20?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Setuptools+2.7+bdist_wininst> It wasn't clear on where to run things from nor did it address the missing 2.7 reference. The reference - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ has a 64 bit installer - distribute-0.6.43.win-amd64-py2.7.exe. It ran without error reports. This all was to install netwokx. That installed without error. Ray -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
