This is my normal install process for Windows machines: 1. Install Python - add to Windows path if your install doesn't automatically 2. Install PyODBC 3. Install Pywin32 (I need it, you may not) 4. Install web2py from *source* 5. Open a shell and type "python web2py.py" 6. If step 5 doesn't work, Python isn't in your path. Just change to the directory where you extracted your web2py files and execute the command from there.
