If you have pip can you run pip from the command line? If so you
should be able to update setuptools with:

    pip install -U setuptools

It's hard to provide better help without more information:

What operating system are you using (Windows?).

How did you install Python or which Python distribution did you
install? (Can you a post a link to where you got it from?)

Did you install for all users or just you?
