Well, something must be different, have you double checked your sys.path?

C:\LocalSVN\errorhandler\branches\docs>python -c "import sys; print 
'\n'.join(sys.path)"

C:\LocalSVN\errorhandler\branches\docs>del MANIFEST

C:\LocalSVN\errorhandler\branches\docs>type setup.py
import os
from distutils.core import setup

package_name = 'errorhandler'
package_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),package_name)

setup(
     name=package_name,
     )

C:\LocalSVN\errorhandler\branches\docs>type MANIFEST.in
include buildout.cfg

Maybe you have soem .rc file somewhere that distutils is picking up?
