I am sure there is a workaround. Unfortunately, I am no Windows expert...
Under *nix, I have seen a similar situation and approached it as follows:
Situation: Operating system distributions often come with their own
python package and associated extension packages. Their package management
makes it often far more easy to install an OS package than
generate a Python package by hand (at least before "easy_install" and PyPI).
Approach: Install via the operating system package management
and then copy the files and directories over to the Python installation
you need them in. Of course, this requires that the OS Python
is similar enough to the target Python.
I do not know where the standard Python is installed under Windows.
But, the registry should tell you.
The relevant directory contains probably some
"\lib\python<version>\site-packages". ("\lib\python<version>" might be missing
unter Windows). There subdirectories containing "xml" are relevant
and need to be copied to the target Python installation.
Probably, there is an easier approach. I expect (but am not sure)
that the installer can be told via a parameter to use a secondary
Python installation. Look whether you can find installation instructions.
Or try typical ways to determine what parameters can be provided
to an executable ("<exe> /help", "<exe> /h", or similar).
