ez_setup worked fine. Thanks for that :)

According to the web site:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

the next step is to do:

virtualenv ENV

If I do that, I get the following message:

--------------------------------

C:\Python26\Scripts>virtualenv ENV
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python26\Scripts\virtualenv-script.py", line 8, in <module>
    load_entry_point('virtualenv==1.3.3', 'console_scripts',
'virtualenv')()
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\virtualenv-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
\virtualenv.py", line 420
    unzip_setuptools=options.unzip_setuptools)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\virtualenv-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
\virtualenv.py", line 499
    home_dir, lib_dir, inc_dir, bin_dir = path_locations(home_dir)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\virtualenv-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
\virtualenv.py", line 521
    import win32api
ImportError: No module named win32api

--------------------------------

Any advice?
