Yes, unfortunately you seem to have hit the "sour spot" of installation: 
Windows with a Portable Python.

I note that the setuptools page has a .whl, which is the brand new 
Python binary installer. Although designed to be installed with tool 
support, it is in fact a .zip file which you should be able to unpack 
into c:\python<xy>\lib\site-packages. It might be worth a try.

Please feel to come back for more help if needs be: you've hit an 
unfortunately bumpy patch in the Python experience and I'd prefer to 
smooth things out for you than have to turn away in disgust :)
