easy_install does not work in Windows 7

Question

I have Python 2.6.4 installed in C:\Python26.

I have PyQt4 installed from here: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-Py2.6-gpl-4.7.7-1.exe

I have added this path to %PATH%:

C:\Python26;C:\Python26\Scripts

When I type this command in cmd.exe however:

easy_install cheetah

I get this error:

C:\Users\Richard>easy_install cheetah
'easy_install' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Richard>

Any help? In Windows XP it worked.

Answer 1

Try to add C:\Python26\Scripts path to %PATH%. easy_install.exe should be there.

Answer 2

I think it lives here: c:\python\scripts\easy_install.exe

Later: okay, have you installed easy_install? Download the appropriate Windows installer for your python version here. (If you have no scripts directory, then you probably have not installed easy_install.)
