David, 

just to dwell on Mathieu's response, the move to canopy hasn't remove the ability to use the enpkg command from a terminal/command prompt to install packages. You should think of canopy as a GUI on top of EPD.

Hope this helps. 
Jonathan

WinPython is even better as it has 64-bits support.
I add just a couple of .msi for the very specific stuff.
