Are you using Python 32-bit or Python 64-bit?   I'm guessing/seem to
remember from your other posts, it's 64-bit and I'm guessing you're trying
to install PIL for 32-bit Windows, which behaves in the way you describe if
you try to use it on a Python 64-bit build.  If I'm right, and you're
indeed running 64-bit Windows, then you need to instead get a 64-bit build
of PIL to match your Python build.   Unfortunately the official PIL page
does not contain 64-bit builds, however you can get an unofficial (meaning,
done by a third party) version here:
