You should just download the Windows installer from the Downloads tab.
I would recommend version 1.10 since it should be faster and fixes
some bugs in 1.04. The direct link is

http://gmpy.googlecode.com/files/gmpy-1.10-beta.win32-py2.6.exe

Just run the installer and it should automatically detect your
existing Python installation. The executable is small. ;-)

p.s. If you're using a 64-bit Windows system, let me know and I'll
step you through the manual process.
