[setuptools] easy_install fails with "failed to create process."

[saultdon]

I've installed setuptools from the 64bit OSGeo4W installer and the easy_install command fails every single time with "failed to create process.".

I was thinking of something like:

As you can see it works fine here.

Not sure, that's the output I get no matter what I try. Can't even get "easy_install --help" or "--version", "-V", etc.

I've installed using the ez_setup.py script so It's working from my end now too. If you can't reproduce with the 64-bit installer than feel free to close.

I think this is an issue isolated to Windows 8.1 so I'll re-open until someone else can test the OSGeo4W 64bit Installer on Windows 8.1.

I'm getting same result on new PCs with 64bit Windows 8.1 in our office.
