The problem is that you ran the script from PythonWin, so the script
thought it was your Python interpreter.  That's why it comes up the way it
does in your screenshot.

Install it again, but instead of using PythonWin to run the script, run it
from the command line like this:

C:\Python27> python ez_setup.py

Then it will configure easy_install use python.exe instead of
pythonwin.exe, and it won't dump you into PythonWin like that any more.
