I installed my version from svn and to get the start menu folders etc. I had to run the win32_manual_post_install.py script. The problem with Ipython immediately closing can be because your default home directory isn't writable. To fix this set the environment variable HOME (control panel:system - Advanced Tab) to be some directory you have write access to e.g. C:\ Also either one or both of the following dlls need to be in your windows:system32 directory. mfc71.dll msvcp71.dll If you don't have them I believe they can be found on the net.
