(Reposting my reply since it doesn't seem to have got through)

This is a setuptools bug:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-January/007156.html

You can temporarily work around it by changing the #! line at the
beginning of the tg-admin-script.py file to use DOS-style paths (eg.
replace "C:\Program Files" with "C:\Progra~1")

I believe that if you change your windows PATH so that it uses the DOS-
style names as well, then when setuptools creates these *-script.py
entries, it will put that path at the top of them. So you could change
your PATH and then reinstall the TurboGears egg.

Hope that helps,

Simon
