<div>Hello </div>
<div>I'm having a problem with installing Starcluster on Windows 7. I've installed Python 2.7.6, along with the two dependencies (setuptools 0.6rc11 and pycrypto 2.3), but get the error below when I type easy_install StarCluster from the command line. The path includes Python installation's Script directory, as recommended in the instructions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If possible, it would be great if someone could advise on getting around this problem...</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
