I'm stumped by my inability to install setuptools 0.9.7 on Windows 7,64, python 2.7.2. On running ez_setup.py I got the error:
Because python is installed down in c:\python27\arcgis10.1, I thought I'd try adding an environmental variable %PYTHON_PATH% and append it to %PATH%, but I got the same messages as above. But at least I can start python from any folder now.
Could it be that the python that ArcGIS installs is 32 bit, but the version of setuptools I downloaded is 64 bit, that somehow the download site sensed my OS?

Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.
