Python installing setuptools, ez_setup.py error -

i trying install setuptools on windows.
documentation says should run ez_setup.py.
did , following output:

extracting in c:\users\ut601039\appdata\local\temp\tmpf6a2mb working in c:\users\ut601039\appdata\local\temp\tmpf6a2mb\setuptools-1.0 installing setuptools went wrong during installation. see error message above.  traceback (most recent call last):   file "d:\python\setuptools\ez_setup.py", line 357, in <module>     sys.exit(main()) systemexit: 2 

the error message isn't informative. looking code found:

        if not _python_cmd('setup.py', 'install', *install_args):             log.warn('something went wrong during installation.')             log.warn('see error message above.')             # exitcode 2             return 2 

i went _python_cmd() , found:

def _python_cmd(*args): args = (sys.executable,) + args return subprocess.call(args) == 0 

i found subprocess.call(args) returns 1 instead of expected 0.

how trying run & install it? ideally.. run cmd cd extracted folder & run python setup.py install should install it.. if on 64 bit windows 64bit python need appropriate version can found here: (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#setuptools)
