Hi. easy_install is a command, not to be used in the prompt but in the
command-line shell.

try to launch this (check this path I am not sure, I am nt under win32
so I am doing this by memory):

"c:\Python26\Scripts\easy_install.exe"

you can also add "c:\Python26\Scripts" in your PATH environment
variable so you can run "easy_install.exe" directly
