Start a Windows command prompt. You probably don't have the directory containing easy_install on your path, so use the 'cd' command to change to the directory it was installed in: that will be the Scripts directory under the directory to which you installed Python. So since you seem to be using Python 2.4 that might be: C:\>cd C:\Python24\Scripts C:\Python24\Scripts>easy_install c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg Alternatively in a single command: C:\>C:\Python24\Scripts\easy_install c:\MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.4-win32.egg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
