Yes, I think you are right. I did initially use the windows installer.
I didn't know that it did't have python bindings. I thought that if I
had pyVTK, then it would work. But it didn't. I am now building VTK
with sources according to this EXCELLENT tutorial that I have somehow
come across, at:
http://www-viz.tamu.edu/courses/viza658/08spring/tutorials/WinVTKInstall.html

It's for Windows XP, and I am on Vista, but I hope it will work. I
have worked my way through most of it now.

Thanks Robert!
