There's a fix for the UAC issue in the current release of setuptools,
if that helps.

(Actually, I think it was put in a couple of releases ago.  Either
way, it should be in the setuptools commit logs from a few years ago.
There are a number of bugs like this that were fixed in setuptools
many years ago, but never merged by distribute; I don't think anybody
from distribute has been monitoring the setuptools tracker or
repository much since the original divergence.)
