Based on the contents of README.txt, it's clearly a case-sensitivity issue, 
as 'c:\\home\\lib\\python\\myproject-0.1-py2.4.egg' doesn't start with 
'C:\\home\\lib\\python' (lowercase vs. uppercase C:).

I believe the correct fix therefore is for Distribution.insert_on() to 
normalize the sys.path entries before comparison.  Please give revision 
41408 a try.  ("easy_install setuptools==dev" should upgrade you.)
