Installing SetupTools on 64-bit Windows

Viewed 165173

I'm running Python 2.7 on Windows 7 64-bit, and when I run the installer for setuptools it tells me that Python 2.7 is not installed. The specific error message is:

`Python Version 2.7 required which was not found in the registry`

My installed version of Python is:

`Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul  4 2010, 07:43:08) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32`

I'm looking at the setuptools site and it doesn't mention any installers for 64-bit Windows. Have I missed something or do I have to install this from source?
