Hello! Enthought employee here. You can send EPD installation support questions 
to <epd.support at enthought.com>.

In this respect, EPD is no different from any other Python installation. 
Universal Feed Parser is a standard Python package that uses a distutils 
setup.py script to install. You usually cannot just unpack its source .zip file 
somewhere, which is what I expect you are doing. You need to unpack the 
feedparser-5.1.2.zip source archive to some temporary location, then run the 
setup.py script from the command line:

   C:\Users\Robert\Downloads\feedparser-5.1.2> python setup.py install

You can read more thorough documentation on how to use distutils setup.py 
scripts in the Python documentation:

   http://docs.python.org/install/index.html

I hope that helps. If not, please send let us know on 
<epd.support at enthought.com>. Thank you!
