This Windows installer is problematic. We are not really able to test it. I think we should probably stop making it. For one thing, it doesn't work everywhere (e.g., you can't make a 64-bit installer unless you are using Windows). If there is interest, I can try to debug and fix it, but otherwise, I think we should just stop making them.
My recommendation to anyone installing on Windows is to just use Anaconda. See http://docs.sympy.org/latest/install.html#anaconda. That will just work, and if it doesn't, Continuum has the resources to fix the problem. And it comes with a bunch of other stuff like the IPython notebook and matplotlib that you might find useful when using SymPy.
